Dragonfly – Almost Abandoned(1974)

Biography
Dragonfly was formed around 1974 and was the brainchild of two Zurich musicians named Markus Husi and Marcel Ege, while Markus was a fan of Yes, Genesis and ELP. Marcel was a guitarist trying to develop his own style but strongly influenced by the late 60’s usual guitar based suspects as Jimmy Hendrix, Deep Purple or Carlos Santana. Both met in the school in the early 70’s and soon Markus was able to change Marcel into a proghead, soon they decided to form a band but an unknown trio recruits young Husi to join them as a second keyboardist and it was not long until Marcel also joined the band. http://www.progarchives.com/Dragonfly
