That’s “Sulton.” The poor guy has had his name misspelled for years. And he was Utopia’s bassist, and is currently filling that role with Blue Oyster Cult (while still occasionally working with Rundgren).
I suck! And I have had the albums, even seeing them live. Sometimes I get overwhelmed. Like someone “drilling holes in the back of my head”.
I guess that means I’ve “got the number of your deathbed.” LOL! I love Utopia to this day. Too bad Todd won’t work with Willie any more. By the way, the KASIM disc will have liner notes by Paul Myers.
