Post #52

Another group set.  This one has a lot of history to it.  This has to be around '97 or '98.  Our departed buddy Steve let us use his cottage in Caissie Cape to set our equipment up and record music for our cassette demo for YQM.  We kind of were just a 2-some at the time, with a fellow named John, who played some pretty wicked guitar.  I guess we wanted to get a shot of my drums, or the boulder we had to put in front of them because it kept slipping.  You can see Pete with his bass on the left, and me decapitated behind the drums.  Fun fact about Pete... he's ambidextrous on guitar.  He can play left handed and right.

And here's John and Pete doing some backup vocals, probably on a song I sang lead on at that moment.  In YQM, we all sang, with Pete writing most stuff, and I wrote a couple and sang on three, including one of Pete's songs, 'Amazon Girls', which you can find on YouTube if you look it up.  It's just a jokey little slide show, but it's entertaining I think.  You can actually hear the intro by William Shatner.

Lastly, here's another one of John in the attic of Steve's A-frame.  John was a real pro in helping us here.  We were pretty green with 4 track recorders, and he helped quite a lot.  Super nice guy too.  John played our one gig at University of Moncton, and left after that.  YQM kind of just quietly went away not long after that gig.  There's more shots from this little session still to come.
