Ah, yes, those early years. Well, not all that early. 1988, if we’re picking nits. There was a local Top 40 cover band called Caught in the Act that I was fortunate enough to get invited to join in 1985. At the time I didn’t really have much live band experienced and, honestly, you couldn’t really call me a keyboardist. In fact, I was a far better drummer than keyboardist, and a far better vocalist than musician. By the time I really got down to seriously working with the band, we were gearing up for the 1988 Battle of the Bands in Del Rio, Texas. And you can tell, it was absolutely indicative of the 80’s. Performing with Hector, Cindy, Jimmy and Mickie was tremendous fun and we did, in fact win the competition. We went on to play a few times in the area before we ran into a couple of lineup changes.
