One day Richie and Steve
showed up at my door (I''m Bob) and said that they
heard I played drums. I was only 15 and these guys
were about 18 so I was a little leery about their
plan but they said they wanted to start a band and
wondered if I wanted to try out. This was like a
fantasy come true man, I was now on my way to fame
and fortune and album deals. We initially had this
guy named Jeff that Sang lead and didn't play any
instruments besides the tambourine. To me this
guys voice really sucked and when he left the band
after a couple months I was glad and hoped we would
get somebody who could sing. The other guys
somehow got me to try and it worked. So now I'm
the drummer AND lead singer. Our main problem in
getting good gigs was my age. Most places required
you to be at least 18, and I didn't have a fake
draft card yet. We played when and where we could
including some parties for "adults" who wanted to
hear a bunch of crap we'd have to look up in old
fake books.
