November...Day Twelve...
Over this past weekend I was sent this photo of an old Screaming Paisleys flyer that I had made for a show at Pony Express Pizza on April 15th, 1988.
Tony, Dave and I had some great shows at the Pony and I only wish that there were videos of these shows to look back on. With our "everything is captured on video" culture these days it is hard to believe that I once lived in a world where it was major to get something actually recorded onto video.
The only footage that was taken of us as a band was back at a Sequoia High School "Battle of the Bands". That'd VHS tape was stolen and thus I never got a chance to see it. There is a video out there of the first line up of The Screaming Paisleys (known as Rhythm and Rhyme), but I can't seem to find that video online any more. I'll keep looking.
Have a listen to our only LP, a real throwback for me. Last time I spent some time with Tony he and I ran through a few of the old tunes.
I'm hoping someday to get together with Tony and a drummer and play these songs again. Until then I'll await the next gem to show up in my inbox. Thank you, Liz for sending this flyer over to me.
Cheers!
