In case you didn’t already know, during the 1990s when I was still young and full of fire, I joined my friend Pete’s band, STICKS AND STONES, which had already been playing for a few years. I loved the band, already traveled considerable distances to see them play, and couldn’t imagine anything greater than actually being in it. We went on to play many shows, traversed the country back-and-forth with several U.S. tours, played a number of other countries, made some records, destroyed a few vans, wrecked a good deal of musical equipment, argued a lot, broke up, got back together, broke up again, etc.
Now, with some much needed help, we’ve finally been able to make much (but not all…) of our music available again via streaming services and digital downloads. Below are some links and samples, or of course you can try searching wherever you prefer to buy music online.
