1991 was a
good year for this version of GetbacK band.
We finished our one and only "album",
followed by a string of
satisfying gigs,
including this one at a club in Richmond Hill Ontario.
We did our
first (and last!) three-night stand there.
My throat is still sore!

Nothing like seeing your name in "lights"!
left to right:
Glenn, Mickey, Me |
|
Take
two!
(Never gets tired) |
|
The quiet before the riot! |
|
Fender-boy
Glenn!
My best-est buddy in the world and my musical partner in crime
for more years than I care to remember.
He's my rock and foundation and keeps me from going off the deep end
when I can't remember the chords.
|
|
Fender-boy Mickey!
The most melodic player you could
ask for, and my musical soul mate.
Some of his leads brought tears to my eyes.
A fine singer too! |
|
Fender-boy Geoff!
Solid um, bottom man.
A great musician and one of the nicest guys you'll
ever meet! |
|
Rich!
They don't make 'em any better than this guy! Or funnier.
A great drummer who always kept us together---or else! |
|
Lights! Camera! Now, where's that pedal?!
It's always something...get on with it! |
|
Well,
fearless leader. Pick a song already!
No rush, Rich hasn't finished his beer yet! |
|
Fender benders!

Glenn right:
Mickey
When Mickey spun that baseball cap around we knew it was gonna
be a rockin' good night!
|
|
Finally! Rocking it out with my boys! |
|
Taking a vocal break to back up one of Mickey's amazing solos!
I'm the only guy in the band who
didn't play a Fender! This is a 1985 Westone Spectrum ST. |
|
And
that's a vintage Gibson.
1964 ES-330. Bought it new.
Yes, I'm that old. (sigh) |
|
Whenever I ask myself why we put ourselves through so much stress
and strain performing
I look at myself here and I remember... |
