Ok so the audience is in their 50s. Funny I don't know too many people that age that are that cool. Where are they??? Isn't that strange? This band was so ahead of their time that it took 10 years for most people to recognize them. Even more ironic is its this age range that tends to be hung up on dam Lynard Skynard and Janice. Thank God for the progressive early group, the truly innovative post war hippies of the world. They are the ones that gave this awesome band their start. WHere are they?

No, There was a group of about 8 of us and we are just barely visable here on the very left side of the stage, but as I recall I was kind of all over the place mingling(sniiiiiffffff) with people that night. God that is so weird I was only 18 then. Now I'm fixing to turn 49. I haven't really had time to go through and check 52 girls or devil in my car to scope out myself or anyone else I was with but I will.

Were you in the front?

OH MY GOD! I can't believe I'm seeing this again. I actually was there that night and partied with them afterward. Talk about a flashback.This was The absolute infancy of "American" New Wave as we knew it; raw and crude; not polished yet as it would be in a few years.We were also competing with the Discos at this time.We would win in a couple of years but it was to be short lived.Nevertheless I think this was the best time to be involved in music.Thanks so much for all the"Downtown Cafe" posts.
