band black department green heard official played purchased songs sort store time uniforms vest wore
Back at that time, we played the songs pretty much the way we heard them on the records. We streamlined them somewhat. We even had band uniforms that we wore and that was one of the first things I had to do. I went out to the department store and purchased black slacks and a black vest and a green corduroy blazer. That was sort of our official uniform at the time and we used that for a while.

anyone bouncing direction organized ourselves promoting saying singles trying
We were like a bouncing ball. We didn't really have any direction or management. We were trying to be organized from within. We didn't have anyone saying 'keep going with this' or anyone that was out promoting us with any effect. We were doing it ourselves and we were not getting anywhere. Trying to make our own little singles and what else can you do? We didn't have any kind of patrons.
I started out with nothing. I still have most of it.

We had all these things to deal with- houses full of people and John going to jail, guys from New York saying 'don't worry about anything.' So it was really confusing.
ahead couple earnings further gotten hold months ourselves people spill waiting
We've gotten ahead of ourselves for a couple of months now, ... Right now people are on hold because some of these valuations do look a little high. I think people are just waiting for further confirmation that things are going to spill out into the earnings field.
