I don't know about the rest of y'all but out here in CA you don't just run into somebody who knows/knew/cares about Terry and the wiser music we love. As a matter of fact I have met exactly one new person who likes DA since the day I found a doppleganger dub in the gutter by my church in '83. (other than you fine folks)

I've become so crazed with the idea of finding someone who has heard of them that I've taken to wearing the shirts to almost any appropriate event, in hopes of stirring an occasional, "Daniel Amos, cool."

You'd think that one of the thousands at Disneyland, Angel Stadium, Pomona Raceway, Huntington Beach, etc. would recognize the name of the greatest band in RAWK!!!

My question - How have you made contact with fellow Terry-ophiles? (besides this trekkie-like message board stuff)

I've never run into a DA or TST related fan out in the real world...Frown I too wear my shirts to a lot of places (I wore my "Hats" shirt to work today Big Grin ). But no one ever knows the names on the shirts. Even at Churches or "Christian" gatherings.

I have met hundreds over the internet from all over the world! Some I have met at local concerts, or talked to on the phone... but that's about it. The DA fan is spread far and wide. Crying

Hey maybe I could burn you a copy of mine? Oh wait, that doesn't work for t-shirts. Roll Eyes I should have remembered that from the last time. I ruined a good 77s shirt that way. Crying

While looking for a church I went to one and decided to go there - didn't worry about looking elsewhere. The next week I was chatting to one person and he liked DA during the Shotgun Angel era and then a month later I met a guy who liked them up until Horrendous Disk and then lost track of them.

However while yakking with the youth group the other month one of them la-la'd a few notes from the soundtrack of this computer game they loved. Neverhood. I enlightened them and we had a great sing-song while everyone else looked at us like I'm used to being looked at anyway. Eyes rolling eyebrows raised sort of thing.

LOL

Big Grin

how did i do it is a good question.... because i'm sure you've all had the experience that i often have of trying to share some cool music with someone & having them react in a less-than-thrilled way.

i think it helped that i didn't pressure her at all to like them or push it on her (because that probably would have just made her resistant), although my own enjoyment and appreciation of it was evident.
and she heard them enough times during the 4+ years that we lived together for them to become familiar. ...what we might call a "mere exposure" effect -- people tend to like things that are familiar. (i think that can actually make a big difference, although it takes patience.)
anyway, eventually, much to my surprise, my roommate began to request me to play swirling eddies, spontaneously dance around the apartment to songs like disco love grapes, and even asked me to sing "Strange Days" at her wedding (i refused!!!)!


thanks woggy Big Grin you want another story? ok:
i turned my dad into a lost dogs fan too... i think just hearing lost dogs songs played a lot around the house for years, and hearing me enthusing about them helped a lot. (plus, he's really sentimental, and i think he likes the fact that they remind him of me Wink - - he's cute that way)
also, i took him to a lost dogs concert in livonia, and we had SUCH a good time together, and he thought they were SOOOO funny, so that kind of cemented it. Big Grin


but my current location isn't very fertile ground for making DA fans because i don't know very many christians (and many of my nonchristian friends aren't "openminded" about listening to music that is overtly christian, unfortunately).

I wore my Doppleganger shirt to a Christian camp when I was a counselor and the guy who was the head of the paintball field told me that he loved DA and Doppleganger was his favorite record.

When I was on staff at the Baptist Church I helped start a Christian club at our middle school (it has since been banned) and the teacher I was working with told me that he was a big fan of da in the early 80's. Sadly, when I got him to buy Songs Of The Heart he hated it.

I think I turned my little bro on to DA, he's not rabid but he does listen.
I wore my Phil Keaggy, Find Me In These Fields t shirt in Monaco a few years ago and a guy ,walking by said, "Hey, Phil Keaggy!" That was it. And speaking of turning on to so and so and Phil Keaggy. Phil and gasp.. Twila Paris were touring together a few years ago. I loved Phil back then, and my younger sis loved Twila. My mother thought Phil was just another rock and roll guy, but Twila, I mean her name is in the hymn book right! So anyway, she took my sister to the concert and loved Phil, but thought Twila was too showy, too much flash, not enough substance. That's it.
