This
West Allis ,Wisconsin trio was originally comprised of bassistMitch Aliotta , drummerTed Aliotta and guitaristSkip Haynes . Ted left after their debut album to be replaced by pianistJohn Jeremiah . They scored a popular regional hit (Chicago area) in 1971 with the single and album "Lake Shore Drive," an homage to the famed lakefront highway in Chicago and (some believe) also toLSD , a hallucinogen."Lake Shore Drive", the album, was re-released on compact disc in 1996 for its 25th anniversary, along with some of their other songs on a 2-CD set. The single 1992 Quicksilver "Lake Shore Drive" CD is missing 2 of the songs from the Original 1971 Big Foot release: "Leaving Chicago" & "Long Time Gone" - aka "Long Time Coming".]
The initials "L.S.D." are a popular abbreviation for Lake Shore Drive, but outside of the Chicago area, the initials are known only as the name of the drug. Skip Haynes claims L.S.D had no drug references whatsoever, unlike "The Snow Queen," which references the up and down sides of
cocaine usage. [Interview of Skip Haynes, The Jake Hartford Show, WCPT-AM, July 19, 2008 ]Discography
