I have fond memories of playing in my high school rock band. Me and two of my cousins would make up songs and then record them on a tape recorder. We got a drummer and started playing shows that we would arrange, advertise, and set up ourselves. A lot of people would come and after a while we were getting better and better. We probably wrote over a hundred songs and played all over at schools, in barns, and in peoples back yards. We even felt like rock stars when cops would come because of complaints about noise. It was great. We played a show on the night before our high school graduation and one show a little later and that was it. We all had to get jobs and settle down. I miss those days.
