I used to sit outside his practice room in Holmberg Hall and listen to him write songs. Yes, I was a stalker. He is an incredible singer, songwriter and musician. www.twobaddogs.com/deviants Lex Keim plays drums with this band. We used to share Beatle singles. We were either going to grow up to be rock stars or super heroes (Black Cat & Quick Eye). http://home.flash.net/~tware/ Terry Ware played guitar in every band in town when I was first learning guitar. He went on to play with Ray Wylie Hubbard and Jimmy LaFave. http://www.soakedband.com Joey Fisher's new band. Drop by and ask him how all the Slime Slingers are doing. I miss them.
