And the hits just keep on coming

One of these days I'll post MP3's and talk about my very first band, Chappaquiddick +5, until then...here are some more photos. The first one is quite special.

Chappaquiddick +5 at the Office, Nyack, NY, 1983. Guitarist Danny, on the left, wore a Hess gas station attendant shirt that night. Me, on the right, wore a Hertz Rental Car shirt. I really got out a kick out that:


Chappaquiddick +5 in the Borscht basement, 1983. This was Steve's basement in Pearl River, NY. You'll notice Mike, front right, is holding a Schaeffer beer along with his cigarette. That was the beer of choice in the Borscht basement. Tall boys:


Borscht at CBGB, 1983. This must have been just prior to Connie leaving Borscht and joining Chappaquiddick, which is when Adam Nodelman came into the picture with Borscht:

Me at a loft party my band, the Gibson Girls, were playing in Boston in 1989 or 1990. I had bought the coat that day at a used clothing joint called "Dollar A Pound." I gave it away that same night:

More musical ephemera

An 8x10 publicity shot for Glenn Danzig's shortlived Samhain:



This is interesting - its a large size sticker, maybe 5x7, for some Australian tour dates by Lou Reed. I'm guessing it dates from the late 70s/early 80s:



Cut out of the Village Voice, an ad for a great Damned tour that was a farewell tour at the time, in 1989. It featured the original line up as well as newer member like bassist Paul Gray as they sort of rotated through their entire career up to that point. According to this website - the set included See Her Tonite, Fish, Born To Kill, Fan Club, Help, Neat Neat Neat, I Fall, New Rose, I Feel Alright, I Just Can't Be Happy Today, Melody Lee, Love Song, Smash It Up, Daytripper, Looking At You, The Last Time (the Rolling Stones). The Captain stripped off for 'The Last Time'. I also remember him making some funny cracks about how much money they were making.
