Improvements needed[edit]

I would like to update the information on this page.

I was a fan since their inception in Boulder, Co in 1968, saw them play live many times, actually knew Candy and David Givens personally, my band toured with them (Candy and David) in Colorado during the seventies, and David Givens also did some pre-production work with my band.

There are in my opinion some minor, though I am sure well-intentioned inaccuracies in the existing article that I would like to correct, e.g. (band formed in Boulder, not Denver) (Zephyr did not disband after Sunset Ride, and there were many incarnations of Zephyr after that version broke up) etc. as well as add some more information.

Reason I am using this forum to request permission to do that is I do not feel it is right to over-write / correct what is there without some type of permission from the Wiki staff.

I have added a photo (it is an old Zephyr promo photo they used often) of the original lineup, taken by Rod Dyer. I am also in the process of contacting Rod Dyer International http://www.roddyerinternational.com/ to confirm copyright level and usage permission.

I have also added 2 links from the Tommy Bolin archives, both of which I can vouch for with respect to their accuracy (one is written by David Givens, founder of the band).

please let me know via message here or by email dave_queen@hotmail.com if I am allowed to edit / add to the Zephyr article.

Thanks daveq [not signed or dated]

Zephyr is a great band for what they were. The Album "Sunset Ride" is well done and Tommy Bolin is a strong nucleus. Very rare today in 2007, would you agree people? [not signed or dated]

----------------------------

A lot of issues need to be addressed:

- "Past members" list in infobox does not match members listed in text.

- Text is messy. Is it all accurate?

- Article sorely lacks citations. Analogous articles in other languages' wikis show that reference material exists on Discogs and Allmusic.

- Some external websites listed are defunct. If they are actually informative, they should be updated with the internet archive; otherwise they should be deleted.

Hard rock???[edit]

Zephyr was not a hard rock band, jazz fusion sounds more like it, but I'll have to check with their bassist. Regardless, it's not hard rock. 2600:1013:B021:5671:316E:563F:497F:7947 (talk) 05:15, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
