Occasionally through these postings, we learn a little about a member. Just to give an example; not until this past year, did I know that Boss Hoss had contributed to the sound quality of Back From The Grave.
For those that have contacted band members, I hear that so many are dismissive of their youthful out-pour. Any experiences worth sharing?
Years ago, I recall a member (please announce yourself if here) about reviving a call from a Soup Greens member and this group member thought the forum member/internet radio host was being facetious about his genuine enthusiasm. It was a great story to read!
I realize that some of you are pretty close knit and may have shared these stories, but there's probably a lot of us that would be genuinely interested.
Also what 'converted' you?
For me, it was hearing the Monkees "stepping Stone" on the radio at around age 4 or 5. A couple of years later, I heard my Uncles The Rolling Stones "got live if you want it" LP and heard the stones version of "Fortune Teller." While some may argue that these aren't "garage" , the style of these two songs were not typical of standard U.S. radio and it moved me. Never cared much for the Ramones or Sex Pistols, but a blind buy of (I'm) Stranded by the Saints and I knew that there was no turning back. I wish I could enjoy Eternally Yours like most others seem to, but I still can't.
