The Famous / Infamous Melrose Jam

This was the first time The Freezebirds got together to play.  There was no plan and we didn't know any songs but it was one of the coolest nights of my life.

There was one more Freezebird some weeks or so later on when Ophir Shur joined to play keys.

This was one outrageously cool night as we played for two hours and people were having a grand time with it even though we were making up everything we did as we went along.  The whole thing was taped but someone stole it!  That was flattering and a drag at the same time as I'd love to know what the hell we did!

This pic is probably from about 1980.  Yes, of course, Lotho was there.  He was definitely my partner in crime for a whole lot of things back then!

My guitar is a Gibson Firebird which is a pretty cool instrument with very good balance despite its unusual shape.  You can learn more about this unique guitar in the Gibson Firebird Wiki.

Here's one more and Dave Bosse is in it.  The reason it's amusing to me is that he's sitting at the top of the stairs and smoking a cigarette.  It's been a long, long time since he did that!
