| + | "A strange history (Part 1) or “How I came to know the [[Jawbone Hill]] fellows, how (The) Rainchildren started, and how I never realized that I played bass so much.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | A long time ago, I played bass in a band called [[The Somethings]] with my good buddy Dave Seyfried. It was a college band and we didn’t play out much, but Dave was all about networking anywhere he went. One night, we were in line to see a band call [[The Violet Burning]], and Dave sparked up a conversation with a couple guys from the Lancaster area. After some small talk, we learned they were in a band too. I don’t remember exactly who was there, but it was a couple of the [[Jawbone Hill]] guys. Dave exchanged numbers and at some point we ended up sharing a stage with them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | (Skipping ahead...) [[Jawbone Hill]] records their first CD //Sackcloth and Sunshine// with Mr. Bill Campbell (of [[The Throes]] fame) in his studio. It sounds great and is an instant local hit. Around this time, I am playing bass for a fellow named Chad Christ. He decides to also record with Bill, so we pack up our gear and head down for a weekend to track some tunes. Over the next couple days, Bill and I hit it off and tell him that I have a couple songs of my own, but no band. He encourages me to come down for a weekend and track a few of those songs. | ||
| + | |||
| + | (A few months later...) I grab Dennis Durasoff and Faith Ecenroad and head down for a long weekend of tracking. Den is one of those musicians who can play almost any instrument well. So I have him play drums, and some bass, guitar, and keyboards. Bill’s production skills elevate the project to the next level and the intention of recording 3-4 songs somehow becomes 9. //Our Little Demo// is born and I use the band name “The Rainchildren” since I don’t want it to be a solo project. | ||
| + | |||
| + | (Sometime later...) I get a call from Bill asking me to go out on a 6 week tour to fill in for his bass player. I sell some things to buy a new bass and a week later I am out on the road with [[The Throes]], [[Common Children]], and [[The Choir]]. Wayne Everett ([[The Prayer Chain]]) plays drums and rounds out this “power trio” and I get my first experience of traveling in a tour bus. To make a few extra bucks on top of my per diem, I end up being [[Steve Hindalong]]’s drum tech. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In 1997, Rainchildren recorded a live album at The Mill Coffeehouse in Lititz, PA. We were preparing for a summer tour - with our friends [[Jawbone Hill]] - and there wasn't time to record a proper studio album, so we set up our gear in a familiar venue and played our songs. We called the project //Feels Like Summer// and it captured that point in our lives. That studio album never did happen, but we continued to make music, friends, and memories." | ||
