I guess my main take was being
grateful that Scott asked me to join the band since I really
wanted to play onstage but was too reluctant to do take the
plunge on my own. It was also important as my first real
band experience and a wake-up call for me since I had to
control my undisciplined playing and channel it into the
structure of the song ideas. In the few years that I'd
played, I rarely played with other musicians and you guys
seemed very patient with me during my period of adjustment.
I also enjoyed the fact that Scott had a vision for the band
and was willing to lead things. It was always a welcome
challenge to figure out how to contribute guitar parts to the
songs that made them stronger and that were fun to play.
I also recall catching some friendly flak for running the
reverb so high on my amp, especially from Kevin. It took
a lot to get me to turn it down for our recording session.
Although I don't have any particular performance memory that
stands out, I remember the great feeling I got when I was
driving on Cumberland and heard Happy Dancing on the WUTK
radio. - Stephen Wicks.
