Okay, so I don't want to make a great big post here, so long story short, I was a drummer in a previous life. In 1986 I began to take drum lessons. From that point on, until about 2002, I was playing music. In 1991 I joined my first band that played all original music: Trinity-X. That lasted until 1993 when I joined my second band, Larry before leaving in 1996. After that Trinity-X got back together for a bit. The reason I'm bringing all of this up here is that over the last few days I've been adding the various demos we recorded in both bands to all of the music streaming services. All the Trinity-X stuff I put up hasn't quite made it to all the major services yet, so I'll start out here with Larry. In the time we were together we played over 200 live shows in and around the Lawrence, Topeka, and Kansas City, Kansas area, and recorded three demos consisting of three songs each. Now, rather than try to come up with cover art for each of the three demos (anything we had at the time would have been formatted to fit a tape cassette case), I instead took all nine songs and collected them in one album I named: All Inclusive.  Now, I'm using the word "I" a lot there, and that's because this is a project I took on myself. I contacted the other three guys from Larry and asked if they had any issue with me doing all this and they gave me their blessings. And so now we get to the real point here of this particular post, the links to where you can find All Inclusive so that you can get out there and stream to your heart's content. Well, here you go: APPLE MUSIC SPOTIFY YOUTUBE MUSIC AMAZON MUSICEnjoy!

Hey folks.
I went off and made another music video.
This video is to coincide with the release of All Inclusive by Larry launching on all the streaming platforms this week.
This is the video for Philadelphia, which of course, comes off of All Inclusive.
Enjoy:

Here's another video I made, using footage we shot, on an old camcorder (which was fairly new back in 1995 when we shot this).
It's called Seneca and yeah, you get to see me rocking out behind the drums and just generally being silly.

Here's a silly video I put together for my old band, Larry.
It's called Tales From the Studio Episode One: Wasting Time
Will there be an Episode Two? No idea.

And finally (for now) a dumb commercial I made for my old band, Larry.
It started out as a parody of a commercial from 1980 for "Original Gold: The Greatest soft rock hits of the '70s!"
But, I wasn't able to quite pull it off, so it turned into what it is now.
Enjoy!

Since I'm talking about it, you should just head on over to the Larry YouTube channel where you can see those videos as well as live shows from the mid 90s. And there will be more to come. THE LARRY YOUTUBE CHANNEL

As I go through all of my old video cassettes and slowly convert them to digital, I'm finding tapes that have just five to ten minutes worth of footage on them.
This is one such video. An entire tape, and all that was there was the band performing Hole at the Bottleneck in Lawrence, Kansas.
There's no date on the tape, but based on our hair, the song, and how Shandon introduces it, I'm guessing this was sometime in 1994, not long after we released our first demo, which did contain the song, Hole.
