My last recording with my first band (1986)

Great stuff! What happened to the singer? She is very good..I loved your solo...and I dig the big hair....

Funny thing is we were just a bunch of dorky marching band geeks

That's the best place to start, if you ask me.

Care to talk about it. I mean you don't have to. I understand. But how did your band mates die?

Tragic story Duane. You guys were pretty good.

Thanks for the post.

 

Took me some time to get the 4mm DAT tapes to CD so I could upload.

 

Anywhoo here's a tune we recorded when we were in high school with Gabe and Joe... As you can hear we were a much different band when they were still with us ... It was more of the sound I preferred, .... BTW Lisa was only 14 or 15 at the time. I have another song I'll put up later.

 

Anywhoo, Gabe does the opening lead, I do the middle lead, and Gabe does the closing lead. I think I recorded this one with my 80 LPC and my SMF head. This was done in early 1982.

Duane, that must have been a horrible thing to have experienced. That never goes away, does it..... My heart goes out to you... On the music side, you all were very good! Lisa has insane lungs! You totally rock, man, and I can hear those sweet, flawless bends of yours and I dig the riffs!! Totally 80's without a doubt! Thanks for uploading these gems, D.

Thanks very much for sharing those clips and memories.

 

Tragic to hear about the senseless deaths of your friends.
