I've got a 1986 Dictators tee that's still wearable.
He played in the Brain Surgeons with some friends of mine.

Thanks! And what I really like about Ross's playing is the fact that he doesn't use any effects boxes.
He just plugs straight in.

They were fun. The critics hated them for being too stereotyped metal, but that was always their point. They did it to be over the top.

Exactly! Oh I think they were the top

A good photo there, however the red overlay seems to take away from it. I would suggest you use something that isn't as overpowering... but thats just a thought

Otherwise great

No overlay. Just a curtain.

It's that weird setting where you get a flash and a longer shutter speed.

I've met Albert once a long time ago. I know Joe a lot better.
I've known the Hilfiger family since I was 14.
It was Andy and Billy that got me to come to NYC 21 years ago.

I only knew Billy and Andy in passing through Joe and Al. Joe I have known for a while. I casually know Buck but haven't talked to him in years.
