I don't think anyone's reading this, but I'm going to keep putting stuff up here anyway. This is a later picture of the band. I can tell, because the face turned away from the camera is Rick Vena's; he played drums towards the end. The rest, clockwise, are Matt S., Matt R., Mary, Wally, and myself.

flyers galore

figured i should scan these before i misplace them again - - there are still a few more somewhere. Not that it matters but I like seeing them all together.

Two songs not recorded anywhere else that I know of: Heaven and Rebecca, at the Hotel Utah, 12-2-89.

Fallen Man, Ballad of the Wannabe Texans

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.
