Eunice? I actually work in Opelousas, just down 190 from you. I grew up in Mississippi, but now make Lafayette home (not because of a woman, at least not that I know of).
Very funny about the BBQ tour. I think we got some work to do for that, which is a shame because we would have to travel quite a ways to see them live.[/quote]

You're right about the work to do, but there have been some opportunities, albeit a few. Back around the time of the Dogs' Green Room Serenade someone brought them to a Baptist church in Baton Rouge but didn't do such a great job promoting. I happened to hear about it by accident the day before the concert. Small crowd but BIG show. It was fantastic! Then waaaaaay back Russ Taff played in Alexandria at the Baptist college and who was opening for him? The Choir. Another great night for Louisiana.

Other than that I've had to travel to Houston to catch the Dogs and C-Stone a couple of times for Terry and/or DA. Mais, dat is one long drive from da swamp, cha.

He looks kind of geeky now! I liked his hair long better! And my friend, who happens to be his mom, said the same thing!

  Alarma and Darn Floor

A friend copied Alarma off of record onto a tape for me, and I wore the thing out. I had never heard anything like it. Much later at my first C-stone on a whim I purchased Darn Floor, and once again fell in love with the band. Darn Floor is, to this day one of my all time favorite CDs bar none. I still remember they had Darn Floor and Fearful Symmetry CDs and I had to choose one, I bought Darn Floor. Little did I know that it would take me YEARS to be able to find a copy of Fearful Symmetry after that on CD. Should've bought them both right then.

I was living in Atlanta in the early to mid 1980s and somehow caught a Scott Ross interview with Terry Taylor on...The 700 Club! It was just after the release of Vox Humana. I remember them showing a clip of DA playing "Sanctuary". The next day I went to a small Christian Bookstore on South Cobb Drive in Marietta and bought Vox. Ever since then I've bought every DA album as soon as it came out. Yes I even got the Fearful Symmetry and Darn Floor CDs when they were in the stores!

My kids saw that same tour in Marshfield WI..It was during Wide Eyed Wonder- I had a church commitment and could not go- grrr, a freind drove them the 200+ miles.
I still got the t shirt that my boy bought- it doesnt fit either of us any more.
Gotta love it!

I saw terry's silly buns at the beach one night and got into them really fast...I'm talking about the band silly

I've told my story before but I'll state it again for anyone who missed it.

A long time ago, I approached Terry Taylor and asked him to get rid of that dirtbag hoax of a bass player Chandler, and let me play bass for DA. He agreed and I immediately joined the band. My mistake was that I mistook Brian Duncan for Terry Taylor (I was in the "Women Who Wear Camouflage, and The Men Who Love Them" tent at Cornerstone, and I'd had a little too much Lavoris) and I ended up playing in Brian Duncan's band "The Sweet Southern Comfort Food Band" or whatever he called it. I mistakenly played in that band for 10 years, thinking that I was actually a member of DA, until one evening when I went to see DA play. I sat in the audeince and watched them take the stage. When they started playing, I realized that I wasn't on-stage and that's when I realized My mistake.

hold on just a second. that story makes no sense. why would berger go to see DA if he already thought he was in the band?

Posted by carl on 08-09-2004 at09:26:



So then, you DIDN'T actually find DA.... DID you, Berger?

Berger, I AM yr mommy, remember?

Anyway, we're just trying to make things clear for you -- like the CORRECT usage of Windex. Is that the problem? Did you start using the Windex because you figured that'd be the only way to offset those hits of window pane you'd already ingested?

Besides, it's not even Friday. Get back to whatever it is you do.
