      @@michellepatrick5175 Gina's Dad is Karl Monahan. He joined the band In, I believe, 82. This vid was done just after Kelly James left to go to Texas. I was asked to join soon after that. Karl and I were in it to the end and also did one last farewell reunion series of shows in the late 90s.
      The two drummers before Karl were Gary Deren and Billy Lomax.

      @@KDragon-7 You're welcome, Karl. And thank you. One may hope. A very long time, two lifetimes, at least. You were always rock-solid. -In the Dead End Kids, way back in Trance, and, I'm sure, everywhere you went. It's a shame you never got the break you deserved, 'but we sure had a good time when we started, way back then'.
      Some say rock and roll will never die. Some say rock is dead. If it is, we were playing in the orchestra on the deck as the ship was going down. Long live rock & roll!

      Trance was one of the best bands at the time, Chris. You and I always meshed well together in that band as the rhythm section. If I hadn't joined the Kids, we would have been Awesome! You, me Mike Waters and Todd. Remember when we opened for these guys before I joined?

      Seat belts for a guitar strap because it slides easier. I'm glad I never tried this with a regular guitar strap.

      I remember working with George in the late 80s. He told me a story that he used to use seatbelts as guitar straps so when he whip the guitar around it went smoothly. This video is the first time in my life. I actually seen it done by him !!!!
