So here we are in Hyde Park, over the Pixie Cinema a one trick pony!! But it didn't matter we were rock musicians and we played original music and we were calling everyday to get booked at The Rat, or Cantones, or Bunratty's. I am from Boston so that's the clubs. The first guy I bump into is this guy named Hoffman, can't remember his first name but he was booking gigs at this place called the Underground over in Allston. I'll never forget it, it was in the basement of this quasi college dormitory! Probably a BU or Northeastern dorm, who knows?  I gave him this shitty 4 track tape of 3 songs and he books us!! We were thrilled, holy shit, we've made it we were finally playing out!! So he books us on a Wednesday night in November, great right? Well there is like 3 bands playing that night and we were slotted for the middle slot, 2 sets each in rotation. I was on top of the world!! Well the HEADLINER, uh hum uh hum, that night was supposed to be some hot up and coming band from Boston. Well during the load in, and all this monotony, the drummer or bassist, ah who gives a shit, gets pissed because, somebody doesn't do something and they start screaming they are not playing to the club personnel and they leave!!! So now we have 2 bands for the night and the crowd finds out the LA-TI-Da's have bagged out!!! Great right? So half of them leave, but for some reason a fair amount stayed. I went up to the other band, who seemed like a good enough bunch of guys and said, hey we'll have to play 3 sets a piece to get the evening full. Well the lead singer comes over and informs me, NO F ing way he's doing 2 sets and that's it!! So I say no problem then you only get 30% of the door we'll cover the rest!! He gets all up in arms, doesn't know what to do, but that is what went down. Anyway, since they were only going to do 2 sets I said well do them in a row and get the fuck out of here!! And that was our first gig. We did 4 sets god knows how, but we did and got $98 at the end of the night!! Wow, we were rock stars, but after that all the guys in the band said, hey you have to book the gigs and negotiate the terms, we want no part of this!!! I was like, are you shitting me? I write 90% of the songs and I have to do all the work? The answer was yeah, you do. Well alright alright I'll show these fucker's!!! And off we went into the late 70's Boston original rock scene. But you know what it was exhilarating!!!!
