Appendix I: The Musicians
We played with a lot of people over the years. Dave and I played our first gig together with Don Savoie. Harry tells how he usurped Mike Webster and took Blue Monday for his own. Josh and I played with Melissa Handler, a flute player up in Boston (one of seven we played with in ten years). Martina Laestch appears on a “secret session” at the Silvermine Guild of Artists. Harry went on to play with many other bands. In the end, though, this is a good list of twenty-five core musicians and engineers for our formative period along with the year they joined.
