Singing with my buddy John in his basement.
Check out the home-made brass bridge. I made it on a milling machine in metal shop.
Time rolls on... The "perm'd" me with 1964 Gibson SG (thanks Franky), Strat, Sound City head and Peavey cab.
I replaced the stock humbuckers in the SG with DiMarzio Dual-Sounds. Later, I had the Bigsby replaced due to tuning problems.
My first "real" band was Riff-Raff. Nice hair, eh? Brian O'Hare on bass/vocals, Kenny Moutenot on drums/vocals, Mark on guitar/vocals and Mike Brocato on guitar/vocals.
All original material. Artwork by Mike.
Listen to Riff Raff MP3s.
Me with Taboo. New hair again!
That's me on the left, the late Dave Hill (drums), Jacquie York (vocals), and Mike Rosenberg (bass).

Taboo live.
Check out my pedalboard. Vintage Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man, Micro Synth and Deluxe Electric Mistress Flanger, DOD Compressor and Overdrive, Crybaby Wah, and Morley Volume Pedal.
What a nightmare!
A shot of the whole band. Must have been the year for boots.
Note the brass pickguard and DiMarzio pickups on the Strat. Brass pickguards - what a bad idea!
