                            back to joliet, a friend, chris, asked me to vocal 
                            coach a girl he and a drummer, jay, were playing a 
                            gig with. those guys were invited to play a fundraiser 
                            outdoor acoustic musical festival in hebron, illinois 
                            (near woodstock, ironically?) and they asked me to 
                            sing. we got three (3!) other guitarists and slapped 
                            together a couple sets of songs. i played bass to 
                            keep the insanity in line. it was a great gig - camping 
                            outdoors and playing on stage.  a few 
                            weeks later we were invited to play another fundraiser 
                            for hunger week (or something to that effect) at lewis 
                            university. we stripped down to a four-piece electric 
                            set (chris, george, jay and i) and played the gig. 
                            it went pretty well too and those are the songs here. 
                             chris 
                            quit immediately after the last gig and it wasn't 
                            right without him, so that was that. but this was 
                            a fun band and the last time i played out live. i 
                            enjoyed it - even the part where the woman moans when 
                            we start strong enough - we changed her mind.
