Long before Kenny Rogers started calling himself the silver fox, my friend, Mike Jaap of Tacoma had a band called Silver Fox.  They were excellent, but were not too well accepted at the time (1970-72) because their music was too sophisticated for most rock audiences.  They were actually kind of prog-rock and jazz-rock fusion.  If I remember right they did all original material (something practically illegal back then) and it was very good!  They were working with unusual time signatures and progressive harmonies.

The only two names I remember are leader/keyboardist Mike Jaap and guitarist Rick Delarno.  They played mostly around the Tacoma area.  I saw them in the Lincoln Bowl once.  They played the gig wearing tuxedos with tails.
