Lalas percussion work figures prominently on the Stephen Stills/Chris Hillman led group, Manassas. Kent Henry played lead guitar with Steppenwolf prior to their break-up in the early 1970s. The song was inspired by the number of keys on Pineras Rhodes piano. Pinera said, Okay, I need a first word. And what came into my head was 73. I liked the rhythm, and I went, 73 men sailed up, from the San Francisco Bay. ... The song sort of just wrote itself from there. ~~True Story
