Savage Crimson
Port Jervis, New York

1971-1973
 

We were just a bunch of high school kids who didn't fit in with any clique, so, being fledgeling musicians, we decided to form a band. The problem was we were COMPLETELY inept at playing the hits, plus we couldn't read music, so we had to listen to records over and over...driving our parents nuts. The band gradually died from lack of interest, but Bill and I became songwriters (if you can't play other people's music, compose your own!)
