See the second vid on my profile. [or]

It's not actually a vid but some guy on Youtube has been kind enough to post a couple songs from our Album (back in the days of yore).

This was an acoustic band. We head lined a small outdoor concert in N. Virginia one weekend. We were the only whollyt original band of about eight that played.

We played last then switched to Electric instruments and jammed with another outfit called Howdy Doody. I played lead in the jam.

It was a wonderful weekend. I had a lovely girl with me, there was lots of weed and acid around (i passed on the latter!) and everybody was very friendly - about a thousand people with a few more at peak. About half camped out.

The acid must of been good since Howdy Doodie's drummer played naked. :D

Now back to making a whole differend kind of music...

cheers
Talbot

We were a strange band. Our guitarist hadn't even listened to the radio for over two years when we hooked up. Was afraid of basing his style on someone else.

The lead singer, Earl, was my hero: he had fronted a very cool rock band at Jugdes Bar on Greenmount Ave in Baltimore.

I was the bass player and a hard rock guy. We had a good combination.

I was sad when it ended. We never sounded like anybody in particular since we all had different influence except for Gary who had none! :D

Was a lot of fun. Good guys to play with which is half the battle right there.

thanks
Talbot

It's quarter past midnight here. Waiting on my Manchu noodle cup to cool enough to eat before I crash.

After a long practice and tear down of all our gear in preparation for our three day gig this weekend.

I really could not think of anything better to listen to at this moment in time.

Thanks

The whole point is to play and not try to be anyone else.

What it sounds like is coincidental. NEVER emulate anyone or anything so closely that anyone can say definitively it is "this or that".

It is what it is.

And I really like the fact that the one fellow never listened to any radio.
I've met a few players like this already.

It can be a boon to be sure.

I liked it .. that's all I need to know.
