Maybe it's the painkillers, but I think....
It all makes sense...Berger is Mo Trucker, French cheese eating
catwoman and drummer for Byron Duncan.
Hey berger did you play on that "My name is Byron D, and I'm
a screamin machine...I like tearin up up, I like it loud if it's clean.."
song? Can't rememember the name off hand....
But it rocks!!!! man it Rocks!!!

I picked up Green Room Serenade Part 1 at a local Christian bookstore because it was on sale, the cover was cool, and Derri's name was on it (I had heard him through COAH). Loved it immediately. Later, I saw Mr. Buechner's Dream, which had just been released. Passed over it for Summershine by VOL, because I was afraid MBD was country. Later still, heard "Ordinary-Extraordinary Day" on the radio, and then ran out and bought MBD. Been a TST fan ever since (and have picked up quite a bit, mostly on cassete, from TST, DA, SE, and LD).

A local station in Hampton Roads, VA. It's a CCM Adult Contemporary station, but they used to have a Saturday night show where they played stuff that the "young persons" might like; most of it was pretty crappy too, but it was alternative rock stuff instead of Sandi Patti. Anyway, the DJ would play stuff that was requested and he actually started a segment called "lost oldie" of the week where he would play old Christian rock from the 70s and 80s.
One night, he played Ordinary-Extraordinary Day (not as a lost oldie, being new). The only time it was ever played, but I was there and heard it. Sometimes, I think maybe God engineered for it to be played that night, because it convinced me to go get MBD. Only time it ever played, and led me to become a TST fan...

Sometimes I worry about my "all things Terry" obsession. It seems unhealthy.

I'm kind of curious about the radio station that plays MBD, too!

Yes I did!
It was touch and go there for awhile there, however!

OK. Fine.
The trash-can thing. You know, her original drum set with the Velvets. If you figured out the whole rest of it , that part should've been easy....

I was lucky enough to have a very cool uncle. He gave me a tape that had "Vox Humana" on one side and In 3-D's "No Glasses Needed" on the other.
Strangely he copied Side 2 of Vox Humana before Side 1. Ever since it's been uncomfortable listening to it the right way around.
I hammered that orginal tape good.........

Back in the '80s, I picked up Fearful Symmetry when it came out. This album was really an eye-opener, as the music was much more interesting and challenging than the typical teen-agey CCM. Then I got to take a road trip with the youth pastor to one of those "hide the beer" colleges. He has been a Terry Amos fan since the 70's, and I got to hear Vox Humana and a couple other albums while on the road.
When the Swirling Eddies arrived on the scene, I showed my pastor the full-page ad in CCM Magazine. He told me later that the Eddies were actually a mutation of DA. After hearing the album, I said, "No wonder they're using aliases."
Now almost twenty years later, high-school kids still listen to syrupy, easy-listening CCM, while I play the ancient DA, Alarm, etc. Hope I get a walker and a bottle of Geritol for Christmas. Also, having monitored this board for a while, it appears some of our Swriling Amos friends have lost what's left of their minds. But that really won't be a problem unless they dig up their spandex.

A friend of mine let me listen to part of Vox Humana in tenth grade ('87) and I was hooked. Nothing like I'd heard in the Christian market. My mentor gave him copies of Fearful Symmetry along with VH. I was angry that Ian (our mentor) didn't give me the copies that he gave my friend. I searched the good Christian bookstore relentlessly. Since then, I've picked up everything I could on CD.
Also, I looked up who Billy Blake was from the song on Vox Humana. I fell in love also with his art and poetry. Finding so much so quickly was such an awakening for me. I began to stand out more awkwardly than I already did in high school. "What in the world are you reading? And what the hell is that "music" you're listening to?"

When I was in high school (late 80's/early 90's), one of the youth workers introduced me to lots of great stuff like Steve Taylor and the Swirling Eddies. He loaned me Meltdown and Outdoor Elvis, and I was hooked on both Taylors. It was only several years later ('94?) when I started working in a Christian bookstore where the music buyer knew everything there is to know about music that I realized there was more. I picked up FS and DFBB in the bargain bin on cassette and was hooked.
