"Breaking New Ground" MTV Basement Tape win 1986

In 1986 my group Students of Life won an MTV Basement Tape award for this video, produced by Steve Sattler and Michael O'Keefe, filmed at Bradley Air museum with a crazy (typical video script of the times-none) idea that my character was based on what happened to Amelia Earhart? She ended up a musician in a wacky 1980's video!! That angular hair, the Adam Ant make-up and stretch pants-Thompson Twins clothes! The bouncing drummer (sorry Harvey-but too good not to mention), the moog synthesizer. song by Lenore Troia

how can I forget the studio in Elizabeth NJ, HomeGrown Studio (?) we'd arrive at 10 pm work like crazy for hours before we could even record untangling cords, clearing out beer cans and then recording until 10 am-those were the days!!!
