Pedestrian Folklore
I was still playing in Zzyzywuzsky when I got a call from someone I didn’t know named Joe Cordi to come play in a band at Southwest Texas University (now Texas State) in San Marcos, TX. We worked up a set and played exactly one gig (The Coffee House, San Marcos) before I decided two bands and a commute was too much and dropped out. Months later I saw Pedestrian Folklore play in Austin and I was blown away. I'd made a mistake by leaving and dropped some hints that if they ever needed a guitarist to let me know. A few weeks later they dismissed their guitarist and I joined. They had already recorded an entire album with the old guitarist so I re-recorded the guitar parts for 11 songs all in one night from 7pm until 7am after working an 8am - 5pm shift at Apple. I’ve never been so exhausted. Gigging spots: Café on the Square (San Marcos), White Rabbit (6th St), Waterloo Ice House (Austin).
