Vicious Boacondas – Central City Park part 1

I think this was our first gig. I look scared. I must have been about 22 and these guys were just plain out of my league. I was greener than Dallas’s shirt. Man this was a long time ago. Around 1990 I guess…

We would eventually tackle other instrumental stuff like Jeff Beck fusion and Robben Ford tunes, but to get going we relied heavily on Little Feat. Little Feat was a revelation to me. I’d never listened to them before I met these dudes. Never listened to Bill Payne, and had NO IDEA how to play his stuff. ๐Ÿ™‚ I’d never heard of Robben Ford. Never paid attention to Chuck Leavell. Had never touched a B-3. I had a lot to learn.

In our short time together I probably learned ย more from this group than I’d learned in all my playing time previous.

Ed Cain – bass, vocals
Ross Lindsey – drums, vocals
Dallas Moore – guitar, vocals
Paul Thomas – keyboards
