I'll try to scare up a picture. My bands played mostly originals but a few covers were: Magic Power, Behind Blue Eyes, YYZ. Even, La Villa Strangiato ..... ya, that went over well at a wedding!

What about the boots?

LOL! Read my mind...

Me too!!! ROTFLMAO :P

I think I had a pair of Frye boots very much like those in the late 70's...

My turn to play along. This isn't from my first gig- I'd been gigging off and on for 7 years by this time. But this is one of the few photos that I have access to. As I recall, it was an outdoor gig at the local junior college. Outdoors in APRIL. That explains the leather. I was always described as "Gavin's brother" in any sort of press, like there's never been siblings in the same band before.

I just realized that I'm still using the same guitar strap!

Hey, that Peavey bass looks familiar! I'm pretty sure my bandmate played one.

Skinny guy, skinny tie.......this one was taken in Germany in '86. I still have the '79 Sunburst, actually. The bass player has a very early Porsche-pearl-painted Warwick "Streamer" bass. That's a rare bird!

I have other pix around and as soon as I get my scanner figured out, I'll post 'em.

HA! :P No, I was living there. I was with the US Air Force in Germany from 1984 to 1988.
