The photos on the back of BSC were printed using over-sized enlargers, developed in 8x10' trays of stinking photo chemicals and mounted on foam core_ I can't remember what finally happened to them_ huh_ Gil? one of my clearest memories of that period was the very first rehearsal with the new band members(Scott/Shelley/Suzi/Gil) - as I remember, the first song they attempted was Shark Pretty - it was so fucking cool, hearing it again, played with full band - - lucky me, I never never got tired of hearing the songs_ the trade-off for touring miseries_ > It's still there--right off Broadway auto row in > downtown Oakland. I pass it on my way to work! the original Big Shot was on the NW corner of Ashby and Telegraph in Berkeley - now a gas station parking lot - after a few years we moved a few miles down Telegraph, then to the location Bradley drives past_ Robert ===== http://www.angrylambie.com _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
