Tom Capasso Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Dave Barry is a very funny columnist. My daughter saw this article and sent it to me. Dave still plays sometimes with a band of authors that includes Stephen King. CLICK HERE About 2 years ago my college band got together, though we didn't play (you damned well I did everything I could to arrange that!). It was great to see the guys, and and relive horrible bar moments (and some pretty cool music). How about you? Seen your band from way back?

Tedster Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I actually heard an audio clip of "The Rock Bottom Remainders" once...and they weren't as bad as Barry makes 'em out to be. I read Dave Barry's column a lot. Usually gives me a good belly laugh... "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Sweet Willie_ Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Originally posted by Tom Capasso: How about you? Seen your band from way back? Nope -- well, not really. Saw the guitarist from my college band once since college -- by chance I ran into her in NYC among 10 million people. Saw one of the drummers a couple of times when he came through Chicago w/ his post-college band. However, my most longtime musical pal, a guitarist I grew up with, I do see regularly when back in NYC. We only performed together a couple of times: Squeeze's "Pulling Mussels", Beatles' "Rocky Raccoon", and an original of his --- all with me on keyboards! And my very first performances as a bassist -- "Message in a Bottle" and "My Girl". Peace. --SW spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars. Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk.

jeremy c Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 My wife taught singing lessons to the Rock Bottom Remainders. It was fun having Amy Tan over here. We also have an autographed Bart Simpson picture from Matt Groening. Stephen King didn't actually make it over here, he took his lesson by phone. Free download of my cd!.

bruiser_dup2 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 That's funny. I hope my band's reunion this fall is better than that. We haven't played together since 1968 (high school), but everybody in the band still plays regularly. Bruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnb Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I'm supposed to go home to Indianapolis to visit my parents in late August. I have already contacted my buddies from high school that still play and we do plan on doing a few gigs while I am home. It should be a blast.

getz out Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 The keyboardist from my first gigging band has been coming to my shows lately. Good fellow, GREAT keys player... The rest of my former bandmates? No idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 P Bass Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I see the singer/guitarist from my first real band almost everyday. We had planned a 10 year reunion,but the lead guitarist died in a car accident that year. We tried playing with the drummer a couple of times after that but it wasn't the same. And he hits the drums way too hard (awesome drummer though). "Start listening to music!". -Jeremy C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Dave Barry rules in huge ways. Click me for pure comedy I think my absolute favorite line in that is: "You can throw a guitar off a cliff, and as it bounces off rocks on the way down, it will, all by itself, play Gloria." That's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
