Big Boss Man - The Band. Richmond, VA

Before they were "rockstars..."
(...they were still "doofy-looking" nobodies!)

JH circa 1986		Doug (1981) & the wildly famous "Grand Oak Band!" This was our big debut gig outside of Eric's barn (hey, three junior high school girls actually showed up and cheered us on - not to mention my dad who took this picture - that's success!!)
	John (1983) Byrd Park - cool Van Halen shirt JH!!	Doug (1987) at James Madison University with Glass Onion - ah those tie dye days... I think...
yes students... that's Mr. Maher (circa 1984) sporting the major 80's look - complete with parachute pants and "lei!" Rad, Dude!
	Dave playing one tiny little drum kit!
Michael auditions for the Journey reunion tour (just kidding)... I just love the guy with the flying "V" and the muscle shirt! (1983)		Who is this guy? Ted Nugent? Commando John (1990) finding time for some guitar playing in between raids on the enemy camp!
	John (1986) with beard and Telecaster! (now he can afford a Strat!) Michael... with hair - and lots of it! well, what more is there to say, really! (1978)
	Doug (1982) My "big break" - a gig for about 15 people at the"Boy Scout Action Fair?!?" Note - same Les Paul as the recent photos! Dave going for that KISS look!
Dave at JMU circa 1986...		Why are those drummers always frustrated guitarists? ..oh wait, or is it the other way around???
Nice plaid pants, Michael!
	A BBM bass player is NEVER too sick to hone his craft! Michael and the High School band!
