Bird Dog Blue
It’s tempting to start this story by telling you about the fist fight that broke out between two strangers Tom (guitar) and Greg (drums), when they both stumbled on a rare pristine vinyl copy of Tom Waits’ Rain Dogs in an op-shop for five bucks, and that Paul (bass) who hanging around looking for more instruments to add to his already outrageously huge collection was the only other person who could stump up the five bucks that day, but this story is simply not true. And that any resemblance to the truth is merely coincidence.
