I did some digging around and found some good quality cassettes that Wally made for me a couple of years ago. There's enough material to keep this going for a long time!
Here are two early songs recorded at Greg Freeman's studio, right where the Giant's ball park is today. Things have changed in many ways, but I still like these:
Ballad of the Wannabe Texans
Fallen Man
I played electric bass, Kirk van Loon played drums, and as I recall, Wally hadn't joined the band yet. The two Matts were playing guitar and and co-writing songs with Mary.
Next: some live recordings.

some flyers
Our basement flooded a couple of weeks ago, and I found some of these flyers soaking in a cardboard box. One good thing about putting these on the internet is that they'll be dry here.
Most are from '87, by Mary; a couple might be '88. I drew the one with the flower.
Pictures are easier for me to post than MP3s are, but I'll find some more music for next time.

a couple of songs
These aren't exactly high fidelity, but they sound great to me. 'Maybe Wyoming' rocks! where can you hear singing like that? 'Patience is a Virtue' is a waltz, on the poignant side.
I think the band here is: Mary O'Neil, Matt Sullivan, Matt Royston, Wally Sound, and Steven Strauss. On accordion, film reviewer Richard von Busack.

SnatCD002
This is a band I was in during the late 80s. It took me a little while to realize what a great group I had happened to join. I was also slow to realize that I was in love with the singer (Mary O'Neil); we got married in '91.
'Alcohol is a Cheap Perfume' was the only CD release for the Wannabe Texans, on the Mekon's SNAT label. It's good that I was out of town during the recordings, as Steven Strauss was the better bassist in this group.

If I get around to it, I plan to post some unreleased recordings, also flyers and photos. Just because I think the songs are good and can still give new possibility and enthusiasm to those who hear them.
