January and February 1983 were busy months for the Squirrels. Hot on the heels of the New Year’s gigs, we were playing McPatrick’s again, playing a couple of Tuesday night shows, one that did quite well, perhaps because I had plastered Cape Fear Tech with posters and got a bunch of my classmates to […]

Secondly - I would like to thank Peter for taking my suggestion of a 25 year Squirrel reunion seriously […]

Exactly how this part came about, I really don’t remember, but at some point, I became the keyboard player for the Squirrels. During the time of the demo recording, Lisa was the band’s keyboard player, but she wasn’t on hand during the recording and had missed at least one gig opening for Stormz at […]

Although reel-to-reel tape recorders were nothing special in 1982, the unit my family owned had the ability to record each track individually, so overdubbing was possible. Granted, it was only 2 tracks, but we could get most of the instruments on the first track and put the vocals and some incidental parts on the […]

I can’t remember the exact date, or even year - but i think it was sometime in late ‘82 that i crawled upstairs into The Tent Room at Peter’s house. A secluded space, 7ft X 7ft., with a tent-like ceiling angle, basically a dormer, curtain for a door, a non-room. matress on floor, kafka, ganja, […]

Since I often dressed somewhat like a particular television Time Lord, it seems fitting that I be the Squirrels’ timekeeper (not to be confused with the rhythm keeper), at least for the time period I was in the band. The fact that I didn’t care for beer may also have kept my synapses firing […]

Paul Daniels was a founding Squirrel brother. From pre-history, through the end and beyond, an integral ingredient in the sound, look, and soul of the band. His reggae song Doomsday Prophets was a staple of any show. He took off for awhile in the middle to attend to other life issues, and it was a […]

I don’t think I could (or should) ever be compared to Tony Banks, Rick Wakeman or Keith Emerson, though Lynn possibly could be. I’m still a prog-rock fan to this day, but my keyboard skills were and are mediocre at best.
My personal playing style, with lots of full 3- and 4-note chords (and bass […]
