1993

In 1993, I answered an ad in the newspaper for a bassist wanted for an alternative band. John Kitner & Marco Rossetti, along with a singer were looking to put together a new band playing a unique selection of 80's & 90's alternative rock. In other words, play music no one else is playing. After my audition, I was hired. After several rehearsals, the three of us decided the lead singer just wasn't right for the job, which made it awkward since we practiced in his basement. The search was on for a new lead singer. John Friedman answered the ad and was hired on the spot. Because there were two John's in the band, we decided to start calling the lead singer "Bud" to avoid confusion. Shortly after "Bud" was hired, Marco met a keyboard player who was a Creighton University Music Major. Matt Peckham had incredible talent on the keyboard but had never played in a band before. None the less, we started rehearsing 3-4 times a week. Shortly thereafter, we began playing local bars and clubs along with street dances. Unfortunately, after a short run, I decided that this band was not for me and I left approximately 8 months after we started.
