    My father-in-law attended a very small high school in Indiana. He played on the basketball team. At halftime, he would join the band and play tuba.

    a better education is the hallmark of small schools… plus better rounded folks and, in most cases, much better educated.

    don’t need fancy labs, just great liberians and creative teachers; sometines one and the same.

    Besides the whole town turns out, its great.

    Greg wants to jump straight into Arena Rock? Sell-out.

    Get a regular gig as the house band at somebody’s lemonade stand. Five days a week, two sets a day, 4-hour sets. Play every song you know (and fake the ones you don’t know) over and over and over. That’s how the Beatles did it in Hamburg.

    The real Distorshun band, Greg on guitar, Azy on bass and Sam on drums, are playing in a battle of the bands at Fitzgerald’s in Houston on Sunday. They’re the youngest playing, and I think the only teenagers in the show.

    Got to start somewhere boys. Garage band today, world wide sensation tomorrow. People didn’t just jump to sign the Beatles. One idiot said guitar rock was on it’s way out.
