The first band... just a couple of kids banging on guitars in the basement: The Electric Mead... 2 guitars... one bass, occasional drummer.
First band to really play some gigs: Nomad...3 piece never made any money.. played when & where anyone would let us.... for free.
Money makers:
Boot Hill.... were were good...played country rock in the middle of the disco thing... never made much money and didn't get many gigs... but it was fun.
Snuffy Smith..... very short lived band.... played like...2 times.
Krrock...yeah , we caught a lot of flack over our name...... 4 piece until the singer left...continued as a 3 piece until we had a big fight.
Cahoots......really sharp 3 piece band.... worked for 2+ years gigging full time...was the offspring of Krrock (same people...different name) ended the same way...
Family Tradition... house band... 6 piece... lasted 2.5 yrs...same place...same people....same songs.....
