During these early years, my brothers and I did one more high school talent show and I think a kid name Greg Jones sat in with us on the drums. Where were you Marc? Another kid, Hardy Lipscomb joined in on the lead vocals. Our entry: Rerun by the Judy's.
My hats off to all of the other cool musicians that I met during high school. In particular I remember Chris Kercho and his love for Dire Straits and the guitar styling of the Knopfler brothers. You passed away way too early my friend and to this day, you are in my prayers. There's Eric Bilingsley and his Gretsch Country Gentleman guitar. There's Roger and his brother; we always looked up to Roger and considered his skill on the guitar to be a cut above all the rest. I got to run sound for Roger's band a decade or so later - I think they were playing in San Antonio at Tycoon Flats. And there are others too - I hope to get some collaborative help here, from Marc, Ken, and Daniel, and fill in some more names.
Back in the day, Greg Jones (the drummer) and I were sitting in high school class one day, I'm sure dreaming of making it big with the band, and we came up with a new name for the band - "The Titans".
