Gary Young -keyboards, vocals
Skip - drums, vocals...
a duo, backing a Broadway show-style
singer...
We played a hotel gig near Disneyland for several months.
My new daughter, Lissa was 1-2 years
old.
This lasted until August - 1977...
And I was there the day I
heard that Elvis died.
Our little family then moved to Richmond,
VA to make a new start-but had problems
and split up.
I was alone, again and got tired of trying to make it as
a typesetter in a local
print shop.
Jamming with a local band left much to be desired.
1978-I saw an advert in a newspaper
for a touring lounge band needing a
bass player/singer.
It just so happened it was within walking distance, and I was without a
vehicle.
The total of my equipment was a
Fender fretless bass and a small bassman
amp.
I carried them a mile down the road, did an audition and got the job.
When I left my apartment , I left behind
all my recordings and any photos of the days before this.
