“To succeed, (a band) must flow together– not just musically, but in feelings, too. And it simply won’t flow if’s full of personality hassles…”
“It’s probably best not to start talking ‘Band Talk’ until after several jam sessions.”
“Extension cords are expensive and necessary…”
“Making music is making sounds, and the quality of the sound you make is critical.”
Could there ever really be a book of a sufficient length to offer the knowledge necessary to operate a rock-band smoothly? The answer is no. Lani, if you’re out there, tell us about the bands you were in… send us some MP3s.
Back to the photos. I am going to wishfully believe that these pics were shot in Connecticut, home of the publishing company responsible for this treatise… prove me wrong (or right). As I look at these images, which truly feel like they are from so-very-long-ago, I have to recognize that I was in a high-school garage-band in CT a mere 10 years later. Trying not to cross the line from ‘historical research’ to ‘actual nostalgia.’ Wish me luck.
