We know
the boys got started way back when in CA when young Scotty had a dream.
Remember?
Scotty
showing how he can jump, jump
And,
how well he does in a lineup (be sure to note the hair irony)
The rest of the band had their
moments as well. From the *first* cd:
Scotty,
with sideburns
Dirk,
cradling that bass, earring and all
Andy,
being all film-noir-y
Kurt,
with that HAIR
And of course, it wouldn't
be a history without some friends along the way. Meet:
Ralph,
the first trumpet player before Glen (and Ron!)
Chef,
one of the dudes to sit in between Jeff and Mike (that's me, the short
one as usual)
Red
Young, a kickass musician who tickled the ivories before Mr. Levy and helped
get BBVD off the ground
Vise
Grip, another instrument guy in BBVD's success (with Glen, Andy and James)
Jeff
Harris, BBVD's first trombone player, and now the proud owner of ImaginationMusic.com
Before the birth of the drumpkins,
the boys will kicked booty on the stage. These pics are courtesy
of Brochaz
and his site. These shots came from the Strawberry Festival
in Oxnard, CA in 1994 OR 1995 (we're not sure which), and are of
the first 5 BBVD's:
Scotty
overdoes the stripes a wee
Even
then, Dirk was smiley. And Kurt...had *a lot* of hair
The
whole band (Scotty played a Fender Strat instead of a Gibson back in those
days)
Dirk
forgoes his jacket for some nifty Docs
*I realize this section is lacking in certain Daddys - if anyone has some older pictures of the rest of 'em, let me know. I can't have anyone feeling neglected here*
