It's 40 below all day and someone (Ken) didn't make sure the bus was properly plugged in. Started at 11:30 and had a great time. The manager was surprised that we showed at all.

After having some photos taken we came up with the homemade poster on the left, then opted for a commercial production using the photo on the right.

Sometimes, when he's wrapped up in the whole thing, Scott thinks that he is Eddie Van Halen. Maybe he is?
 


If Ken was standing on a table or chair out in the middle of the bar, chances are it was during the solo to "Love Removal Machine"
By 1991 the band was very comforable - with performing, with each other - and had settled into a routine. There was a market for the basic Rock n' Roll they provided, a sort of "circuit" of bars and socials that appreciated live music and the show that goes with it.

Mark built an elaborate light show. Calvin Kelly became the sound tech and his knowledge of the material and music in general was a big asset.

Jonah Storie signed on to man the lights.

The band purchased wireless units to allow the guitar players more freedom to interact with the audience. The set list had developed to the point where the band's strengths were emphasized

We met each Sunday afternoon for rehearsal at the famous "Shack" at the Ken Daniels Estate and Rural Retreat.

 
 



Into it.. or What?

Was the real purpose of the fog machine to hide the drummer? We're not admitting it.
Or was this another case of spontaneous drummer combustion.

Dave Laco is in there somewhere.
