It was the summer of 1971.

John and I were at his parents house sitting around talking about starting a band. John was already in a band, but was looking for something new.

We both knew of a drummer, Tom, we went to school with. He would be a good addition, if he was interested. The fourth member was Pete. Even though he didnt play, John thought he would be able to pick up bass easy enough.

We asked, and they came.
