Garage band days...1980s. Mike, Darren, Kraig, and I. There were a few other guest singers over the years, but we core four were the glue. We called ourselves the HighTops.
I've been in many bands and musical situations since then but none of them compare to the fun and bonding I did with these guys. From preforming crammed in kitchens to looking lost in front of a stadium. Rehearsals were a combination of sweating buckets in the summer and freezing in the winter...all in the cozy cramped space knows as Mike's mother's one car garage.
I honestly cannot think of a better and more enjoyable way to learn one's instrument.
