'the first steps'
my great friend and occasional songwriting partner chris murrell (nautical lyrics expert) recently dug out this pic of our first band to release a record 'the first steps'.
l to r.moi,chris and his brother jem.
although we'd been in a west-coast influenced band before we embraced part-time punk in 78.(we were previously The Maximum Grease Merchants.)
the band was managed by my brother and co-conspirator jon.(the 'johnny' of 80's pop sensation 'johnny hates jazz')
