At the ripe old age of 17 Mike Onesko left his native Fairview 
Park Ohio for the greener pastures of San Francisco with just 
$60 and his guitar he hitchhiked his way across country till he 
arrived in S.F. Upon arrival he formed a power trio called 
Sundog and started exploring his musical journey playing 
long jams and heavy sabbath type riffs.
Next was Steelwind a five piece outfit with keyboards, That 
featured John Warmouth on drums and Walker Kaeck(I Think 
I,m in Love)  On vocals. They Headlined at Kezar Stadium 
just three years after Led Zeppelin played there!The Kwik and 
Three Man Army were next and they opened for many acts 
such as Robin Trower,Montrose,Nazareth,Great White,Mitch 
Ryder,Clarence Clemons,Mike was discovered in the clubs of 
Marin County California by Shrapnel records President Mike 
Varney! They formed the Blindside Blues Band with Scott 
Johnson on guitar,and Jeff Martin on drums and Greg 
Chaisson on bass guitar.They put out three records with this 
lineup.Although Greg played on the records he never did any 
live shows with the band!That duty was filled admirably by 
Kier Staeheli. The last Shrapnel lineup for the Blindside Blues
