Mike Safron
Pavlov's Dog - Children
In 1972 Mike Safron who had already played with Albert King, Bo Didley, and Chuck Berry began to form the group Pavlov's Dog. When Pavlov's Dog signed their contract to ABC Dunhill in 1974, they received $650,000 which was reported to be the largest amount paid to a new national act EVER at that time! Then the group switched to Columbia records for another $600,000. After leaving Pavlov's Dog in late '76, Safron formed the seven piece group called "Children" which also featured Pavlov's violinist Siegfried Carver who shared the stage with three other great violinists Todd Hellam, Tom Moore, and Drew Perkins, who were visually spectacular. Children had a hybrid sound drawing on classical influences while keeping a feel for R&B and Rock. They built a melodic wall of sound using violins instead of horns surrounding a concert hall with the sound of mellotron and spirits.
As Siegfried would say, "Children was the best music group I ever played with".
The group lasted three years before breaking up do to financial situations and the end of a progressive music era.
