If I remember correctly, three bands from Shreveport, LA won the basement tape awards in a years time. Nobody understood how great the music was coming out of there at that point in the 80's. Exit was one of the other bands. Can't remember the third. Those were good times. I worked at Shreveport Music during those days and I got to meet all these guys. Jeff G in Nashville, TN
nice piece of 80's s'port music history. Adair sent me the link. i remember that was one hell of a watching party at Goodman's. i call for a reunion..........
oh man I cant believe you put this up here; I have sung this song to myself so many times over the years not knowing who it was or where to find it! thanks so much! now I can go find its album. dude you rock!
That is very kind of you to say. I'm afraid the song is not available on an album, however. I'm just curious, where did you first hear the song? Thanks.
hey thanks for replying...I taped this very episode of the basement tapes and it was one of my favs for a long time till I lost a box of great vhs and cassettes. Id love to get a copy of this vid if possible....thanks ---Lance C in Austin Tx
Wow!!! I went to Capt Shreve with Doug(keyboards) and David(drums). Had no idea this vid was out there.

That singer kind of reminds me of the singer from FlashCube, only with hair. Is that his son?!

You don't know me but Garry Goodman might. We went to Southfield together.
If you keep in touch can you have him send me an email? I would love to catch up.
Rock on.

Tim, thanks for putting us out there. Great memories. Thank goodness we won, I would have hated to have lost to "The Willies".
Hope you and yours are well- A
