Here I am Wood shedding with The Buffalo (cir 1985).  The Buffalo was one of the original members of a group of Maryland musicians collectively known as The Buffaloes. The Factory was an awesome original rock and roll group from the D.C. area in the mid 1980s.  We played rock that was about as hard as one could imagine a band featuring a sax could possible be.  Our song "Girl that I want" was the number 1 cut on 98 Rock's compilation album from 1985. Here we are playing the Bayou in Georgetown on 1/9/1986.   Here's a close up shot of me.  Here's a picture of us playing a BMI showcase at the Bayou.   Here I am chill'n in the dressing room of the old 9:30 Club in Washington D.C.
