| Here is the legendary Babylon sometime during the late '80's at Flaherty's bar. This bar is now currently the Minnesota Music Café. We used to fill this bar when we worked there. At that time it was a real armpit though. Dink's complexion was real bad at the time. His then girlfriend was a hair stylist & thought it would be a good idea to help him with his skin & hair. It made it MUCH worse & helped to lower his confidence. He eventually married her as she convinced him he could get no other. I remember riding somewhere with her & her mother & both of them were planning Dink's future. No one could ever convince him she was manipulating him |
| My school buddy Jack. I was best man at Jack's wedding, Jack was best man at the union to SFB. Here we are at his reception. Jack is singing his personal favorite song,' Sweet Jane'. This was circa 1982. Jack was in his 'drinking' phase. Jack could burp at will (an enviable trait) & he could put an entire apple in his mouth & eat the whole thing. His farting talents were legendary. Before I married SFB, he showed up at my house with $3000.00 in his glove box with plans on going to Mexico to become Hobart jockeys (dishwashers) I stopped him at the border. I never should have. |
| This is the oldest band picture I have. (the rest are being held hostage) Paul Haider & myself at a large outdoor block party in Minneapolis.I was 16 so this must be 1979. The ES 335 is new. I scraped up approx. $700.00 at the rate of $1.90 an hour. I also have the '64 bandmaster @ $300.00. There were hundreds of people at this event and the going joke between the band at the time was you would always tell girls that your name was Steve Meier (bass player). I had met this girl & told her I was Jimmy Page. Unknown to me at the time she had given me MASSIVE hickies all over my neck. I had no sense of direction & had to follow my buddy Tim home after dropping the girl off. Ah, rock stardom! Paul has an earing in his ear & in '79 that was a big deal. He really was a rock god. It took me many years to relearn all the wrong guitar parts he taught me. He still was great. The amps are at least 15 feet back & stacked high! |
| Hangliders? This photo was a joke by my good buddy Brad Laudert. This really is Babylon Mach IX. We are somewhere in Como Park. This has got to be mid '80's as Cal is wearing a very tricky shiny zippered top. This was right before his Prince phase where he was growing a 'tail'. My bronco is now painted from a Halloween party. It was a heavy guitar & I must have snapped the strap pins off a half dozen times from jumping up & down. I remember we played the Hexagon bar in Mpls.for a week straight & at the end of the week I had broken through the stage completely. Anyway, Brad is a very nice guy. The only one married here is Cal. Dink is maybe 16. He's crouching as he has an erection. He really didn't have to crouch that low. |
| The Best Western Hotel in Thief River Falls, MN. This was a damn far drive. The hotel gave us our own room. Hurray! The only problem was that the room was located near the boiler & had no windows. At least it had two rooms. I was in my hedonism phase & the guys were getting a little tired when everywhere we went there was a naked girl in the room. Paul & Cal were married & Dink couldn't get any girls so I was a distraction. The statement we remember most was, Paul drinking, uttered " If she's naked, I'm fucking her too!" He never did though. He loved his wife. Playing the job was great but the other 20 hours of the day were torture. We we would usually try to find The local beach. Cal at one time found a field of corn & stole 20 lbs of it. We told him not to & he later discovered it was field corn for animals & totally inedible. That crazy Cal! |
| This is the potential band logo designed by Stacy Marabella on my idea. I envisioned a modern update of the " Monkee's" logo, but instead of a guitar, it would be a penis. Looks nice don't you think? |
