Well written and an amazing story! Definitely an excellent read!
And I lucked out and managed to dig up a copy of the March 1941 National Geographic which has an article by Richard Archbold who is the subject of one of the chapters. Very cool.Post edited by brianlux on"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

Bacola's band, Second Coming ended up playing a show with Mad Season on New Year's Eve - it was '95 going into '96 at RKCNDY. The first show they did was the Crocodile, the second show was at RKCNDY with us, the third show I believe was the Moore Theatre. And I think they did one more Crocodile show. And that was it - as far as I know. During that time period, he did probably fifteen to twenty shows with Second Coming - he was late every single time. It was exciting - for me to share a stage with him again... was great. He wouldn't move a whole lot but he dominated that crowd, just by his presence. He did a song called "It's Coming After", which he recorded with us on our first record (1995's L.O.V.Evil). He would come to some of our gigs, because we were doing a cover band as well - to finance Second Coming. He would come out to some of those shows on the outskirts of Seattle, hop onstage, and sing "Would?" or "Man in the Box" with us. He would usually pull up with my dad. My dad was a big Greek guy - looked like Paul Sorvino, like he belonged in the Mafia. He would show up with my dad and another one of my dad's buddies - total mafioso looking guy. They would be in suits like his two security bodyguards, Picture Layne walking with Paul Sorvino and Robert DeNiro into a club. Layne would be in a suit also. The crowd would go crazy. ~ Yanni "Johnny" Bacolas
I remember coming back to my apartment by the Seattle Center - my little neighbourhood had a coffee shop and a grocery store. All of a sudden, it was totally different, I hadn't been home for a few months, and I remember going to the coffee shop, sitting down and reading the paper, and thinking, "Why is everybody atring at me? What's going on?". Suddenly, this little neighbourhood that I lived in for five or six years was different. As it intensified, I just bailed on it. That's when I started going back to Montana, and reconnected with friends there. From that point on, when we had time off, I either went back to Montana, or if we were going to Europe, I would go early to Greece or Paris. I bailed on Seattle for pretty much that whole time - I spent very little time there for those two or three years. It felt like you were on tour still, even though you were home. It felt like you were under a microscope wherever you went. We'd all heard about "sophomore slump". We were feeling that, and a combination of all that stuff - it was a pressure cooker. Making (1993's Vs.) really wasn't that much fun, even though we were in an amazing spot - north of San Fransisco, in the best studio we'd ever been in. There was a swimming pool in the back, and it was in the mountains. It was kind of (like) where I grew up, so I was super-comfortable with the location. And we were recording with Brendan O'Brien - it was the first time we'd ever been in the studio with a real producer who knew his shit. If yout told him, "I want the bass tone to be like Motorhead", or "I want the bass tone to be like Funkadelic", he knew how to dial it in. There were all these amazing things happening, but I don't think anybody was really having much fun. ~ Jeff Ament
When Cameron Crowe was making Singles, Jeff Ament worked on the set on the art direction. The set that he created as Cliff Poncier's apartment had stacks of cassettes lying all over - one was Cliff's demos. Jeff went so far as to put song titles on the cassette - something no one looking at a movie would ever see. Chris was visiting the set, saw that, took those song titles, and wrote those songs as a gift for Cameron. The A&R guy at A&M, as a gift, pressed them into CDs. Put the cover artwork that Jeff had put on Poncier's demo, pressed up a thousand, and gave them to us. They got around. "Fluttergirl", "Spoonman", "No One But You", "Missing", and I think there's one more. ~ Susan Silverhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roSG_k2VOX8

No. That one and the expatriate one have been on my to-read list for a while now. The subject matter just isn't as interesting to me as revolutionary America or the Brooklyn Bridge.Ms. Haiku said:
