I was poking around You Tube tonight and clicked on a half dozen links and stumbled across somehting for Houston/Punk/Power Pop early 80's and recognized a few band names and clicked the guys link. So there's my old band - the guy knows more about the band than I remember, that might have been the beer, rum, tequilla, etc. fogging my memory, he has our "self produced" single and and even a clip of one of our later live shows. Keep in mind this was 30 years ago ;D The single we recorded in less than four hours in Austin and our engineer ran the tape to fast - hence the speed freak tempo. I remember that studio time and pressing a couple of hundred singles was about a grand and you can hear what little a grand got us. Pro Tools where were you?

If you dare click on his blog link the rest of it......
Some observations:
A) Damn! Was I ever skinny!
B) I was more or less in tune on the backing vocals - if they could actually be called that :rolleyes:
C) I miss my old '62 Pbass and my Acoustic 370 :sad: Sacrificed for rent and groceries
D) My wife kept the Betsy Johnson checkerboard shirt and my Beatle Boots - the boots I can still wear :P
E) I'm fairly certain the girl slinking around the floor in front the camera was a stripper that had a thing for our guitarist - same dance,
same speed, not matter what the tempo - hot, sleazy and scary at the same time :o
F) Damn! Was I ever skinny!
G) At 19 I somehow thought more notes was a good thing :-[

Can't watch the vid on Blackberry, but love your observations!.
And mentioning the stripper here was of course a sly move ensuring massive hits ... :mrgreen:

Ah, the stripper! She was hot but you did know that she had to be carrying something that would eventually kill you or cause cause your brain to turn into a sponge....
