re: OT - Auburn and the music scene through the years

quote:

---

Jimmy Buffett at the BEMC where I lost my date but didn't care one bit. Guadalcanal Diary, Dash Rip Rock and The Romantics at House band parties. How I missed The Cult, I'll never know. One of our little sisters was in a short-lived band named 'Fetish'. Bone Dali and Gov't Cheese come to mind.

I forgot all about the Romantics, but I was there, wherever it was. Bone Dali's drummer, Brett Jones did his dissertation in botany under my dad and he lived in one of our log cabins for several years. He dated an awesome girl and good friend from AHS for many years. He went on to med school (botany to med school must have been quite a jump) and worked in ERs / trauma units until very recently when he decided he had seen enough and could not take all the gun shot wounds and shite. He is now in...frick...Flagstaff, I think. He always calls my Mom around the time that my father passed in 1997 to say hello, thanks, and to stay in touch. He is a great guy.
