I
shared more wonderful times with these people than I can count.
This is a photo of the members of Mudlark/The Catch who account
for playing great music together, in one form or another, from
1979 - 1999. This photo is from approximately 1993.
I
love all of these people.
Greg
and I played together in high school (I sat in with the "in"
band he was playing with). We started playing together in "Mudlark"
in 1976. Incredible musician. Great guy.
Bob
and I took a 21 year musical trip together (1979-1999). Hopefully,
we are destined to play music together again.
Ron
made his appearance in 1979. I remember well playing with Ron
at "Louie's Rock City" Battle of the Bands.
Ron
is no longer with us. We genuinely loved Ron. By the way, it was
Ron, a.k.a. "Rock Barbecue", one helluva bass player
and an absolute barbecuing connoisseur.
Milton
and Skeeter joined up in January, 1980, which is the date I consider
"The Catch" ("Mudlark" at the time) to have
been born . Skeeter, a most genuine, warm-hearted person. Milton,
an incredibly talented musician and songwriter.
Jimi,
the new guy, shows up in 1985. Milton by this time has left the
group (only to rejoin in 1989). Jimi was "The Coach",
"The Manager", and "The Mysterious One", which
is more nicknames than anyone else in the band ever had.
Bill
makes his appearance in 1986 and then 1987 (yes, twice). Bill,
although not yellow, was a Rose of Texas at the time of the photo,
hence, his absence from the photo.
