bands i have been in 1973-2006

the last express (high school soul band); rage (high school shitty rock band); dirty pool (college blues-rock band); an unnamed college annoyance that would set up on the quad and play until we heard police sirens; a band the name of which i've forgotten where the bassplayer stole my amplifier when he learned i was leaving the state, from which the lead singer and i were both fired for "not being committed to the material;" an extremely misguided attempt at forming a rockband in aspen the winter of '79-'80; the kunsan crusaders (r&b showband while in the airforce in korea); the about time band (aka "the conditions of probation band" - rocked-up country while on dui probation); the midnight believers (blues); the occasionals (instrumental r&b - 13 months, 7 gigs, 3 bassplayers, 2 drummers, 1 nervous breakdown, and a partridge in a pear tree); black land farmers (alt-country w/frank logan; a good idea that didn't work for some reason); spotted eagle crowd (alt-rock w/friends of my dtr); texas toast (shitty rock covers); blue house (more blues w/ex-midnight believers frontman; some sub work before he fired me); lady pearl's b.t.a. band (blues; pretty much the only one i'm not currently playing with of which i have primarily fond memories); vernon garrett's a-1 crossroads showband (still more blues for one nightmarish gig); nathan brown's r&b (two tours w/a six foot whiteguy who wanted to be prince and did cheerleading routines); horses (ostensibly a soul band, really a huey lewis wannabe; got fired via e-mail); impulse of will (wednesday night jamcats); stoogeaphilia (iggy & the stooges covers). i'm still playing with the last two.
