A post by Jewish Business News also says of Randy California of Spirit:  “In his book Stars of David: Rock ’n’ Roll’s Jewish Stories, author Scott R. Benarde quotes [his mother Bernice] Pearle saying, ‘I always felt Randy [California]’s solos sounded like what I remember from Temple.  I told him that sometimes his guitar sounded like a cantor in Synagogue.’”
