One day we decided to rummage through Matt's older bother's music collection. His older brother listened to a lot of obscure stuff (to us then), like Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Yes, ... and this band Marillion. I had never heard anything like this band, but I was infatuated with the erie sounds of keyboard, and guitar. I won't go into detail about Marillion, but it turned out this stuff began to grow on us.

I had always loved playing keyboard so that Christmas I got this dinky piece of shit with like 25 small keys. I think my fingers where bigger that these things. But nonetheless I thought this thing was great. Matt had happened to have a old snare drum, and bass drum lying around that he had used to play. He also had a couple of these old, beat up, and ripped cymbals. He pieced this thing together and we decided we would be the next Marillion (almost).

I hooked this keyboard up to his stereo, which was loud enough at the time, and started to jam. Wow, 3 chord songs rule! (actually knowing today's music, we probably would have gotten a record contract!) We came up with our first song, jamming in his room. What a sound. That snare and bass drum were so out of tune, it was appalling.

After a few months of us jamming, we came up with some pretty good instrumentals for the late 80's. For two guys just bullshitting with instruments, hell we were having the time of our lives. No bass and guitar did make it kind of boring sometimes. So we decided to go look for guitarist, or bassist, or anyone who wanted to jam, we didn't care. We tried out this one kid Brian. Boy did he SUCK. Man he brought this big fucking amp and he thought he was awesome. He didn't even know how to play power chords. Forget that!

... to be continued at a later date!
