@earlymanmusic @ToxicHolocaust @3iob Once upon a time (1/11/09 to be exact), Early Man was booked to play at Stillwater with 3 Inches of Blood and Toxic Holocaust. I was there and enjoyed 3IoB and Toxic Holocaust. However, even though my memory tells me that Early Man had some sort of vehicle troubles and couldn’t make it, everyone I talk to says they remember seeing Early Man play at that show. Flash forward 5+ years and Stillwater has become Club 66 and Early Man is set to play again. I figured my memory would be jogged when I saw them again and I’d realize that indeed I had seen them before.

That didn’t happen. So after the show I asked Pete if they had ever played at this location before. His response was that they were once scheduled to play at the current residence of Club 66, but he has no memory of having done so. Therefore, I believe this was Early Man’s first appearance in Ashland. If someone has a photo or some evidence from that 2009 evening that can prove Early Man was indeed there I would love to see it.

I’m heading up to Vancouver Lake in Washington today to catch the end of the NW Junior Regional Rowing Championships. I probably won’t see much. Crew isn’t much of a spectator sport unless you get to be in a boat. I’ll be going more to bring kids back to Ashland tomorrow.

Some things only get better with time. That goes for a 1971 Vespa 150 with sidecar and guitarists from the 1970s and 1980s.

Craig Chaquico

I shot another cover for Jefferson State Vibes magazine this month. Last month was Buckle Rash. This month (May 2014) will feature Craig Chaquico, formerly the lead guitarist for Jefferson Starship.
