Where
are they now?

Dennis lives in CA, Allan
lives near Dallas TX, , Skip lives near Ft. worth,
TX, Mike lives near Houston TX, Larry lives near
Whicita Falls TX.
Thirty-five years later we have learned to use the
latest computer technology to record music
"together" in our home studios. After 1968 none of
us have ever lived in the same area, so this
technical capability begins to satisfy the need for
playing together (that we share). Most recently,
(for the past three years) we have performed "live"
at McGregor Hall (the old Hermann Sons Hall). We
called the reunions Bad Seed Bash's
(2000-2002]) For those of you that were not
there...you missed it! The Bad Seeds are "in the
studio" recording 10 new original songs. The
single CD is 35 minutes of "the blues," "rock and
roll," some "slow songs," and a little "hip hop,"
all for around $12.00. (No "cover" music)
The Bad Seeds - Return is "the collection" of Bad
Seeds recordings (since 1968). The Bad Seeds
Return Album is set for release April 20,
2003.
