Stephen Lamb Jack Mulhollan Jason Morphew Vince Guillett Lhuwanda sure was fun. I had forgotten. The first time I remember seeing you all, you were playing at that Methodist church in PV near Laura Stanley's house. I think? Is that right. I remember the night because I have a great photo of Catherine McRae playing the violin with another band on the same stage the same night. I guess I was 15 if you all were juniors. I might have the church location wrong. Sorry. I still have a tape of Jason singing Prince's "When you were mine" that I really love, but I can't remember if you all played it live as a band.

Within a month we were regularly rehearsing with a drummer named Vince Guillett at Jack's parents' house in Foxcroft, where Jack's dog Hungarian sheepdog Banger often protested the band's invasion of his space by defecating on our guitar cables.

Jack: Did you know that I met Stephen when he came over to skate on the half-pipe that I built under my house in Foxcroft? He was a sweaty red-headed kid who could skate. On that very meeting, he showed me the intro riff to REM's So. Central Rain, which happened to be one of the only songs I knew on guitar at the time besides Driver 8 and Violent Femmes' Please Don't Go. This ... (More) |
