Random Thoughts: Notice the shoes….

February 11, 2010 – 9:00 pm | by Trey

Way back in the old days, I was part of the band that backed up my high school choir’s ‘pop’ group.  The band was called Origin and one of the guitar players recently dug up a picture of us from Prom in 1983.  Yeah, this was the same prom where the administrators let us play ‘Cocaine,’ but wouldn’t let us sing ‘Cocaine.’  So as a giant middle finger to said administrators, we played our 20 minute blues-jam version of it.  Now, you know the song…imagine it twenty minutes long…with no vocals.  Yeah, exactly.  What the hell were we thinking.

Anyway, enjoy the picture (I’m da one with the drumstix and already trying to work the semi-combover)

Origin 1983

    Your face is completely recognizable, but I never would have pictured you with reddish hair. Was that an artifact of the photograph?

    The guitar to your right looks kind of like a Gibson Explorer, but it’s not. Is it a Washburn or something?

    Not as red as this picture looks. Just a tiny touch from his mom’s auburn.

    Lord, I’m losing it. Don’t remember the “back-up” gig, don’t remember the “uniform” and barely remember the shoes. I *do* remember the hair! :)
