A perfect starting point seems to be the Barn, a small club in Sunapee, N.H. Steven's pre-Aerosmith bands played there. Joe and Tom's band, the Jam Band, was the house band there. What was the place like?
It was kind of like this haven for kids to be loose. That place had a reputation that went back for years, to the '40s. You could even get there by boat. Even though you can't drive until you're 16, a lot of kids had little 25-horsepower run-about things that you could use on the lake if you're 14 or 13. You could dock your boat and walk up there. And the guy who ran it took Tom and me under his wing. I would end up sleeping up in this farm house that he had had up in the back. I could always count on the cleaning lady to make me some eggs in the morning.
