Hi, Belinda - didn't go to central, but knew folks that did. Cheryl Damron, Doug Peterman, Richard Newman, Jon Hewlett.

Hey I saw the Big Employees at the Ross! (I went to school with Richard N.) I had forgotten all about his band! I won an informal dance contest at the Ross dancing to the Big Employees. They gave me a beer and I was underage. :) Thanks for the memories, Shari. Btw, your name is familiar. did you go to Central?

I believe the 3 piece was The Big Employees, headed up by Richard Newman.

Yeah Im from Evansville and well I still live there and still play in loud original bands. This town is still boring. Still close minded, but now rent isn't as cheap.

Evansville is where my mom lives now. I used to go to concerts every other weekend from Evansvillle to Louisville to Indianapolis.

Oh, E'ville...(sigh). It's been a damn long time.

Yay Evansville (or, E-ville, as I like to call it)! I was born there, raised in Mt. Vernon (IN), spent my college (and a number of additional) years in Bloomington, and now reside in St. Louis.

Evansville's homes along the river are gorgeous and the old courthouse and post office are true beauties! I spent many weekend nights dancing away at the Victory when it was an under-21 club. Funny, my parents spent many years there earlier when it was a theatre and now attend the Philharmonic concerts there. That's recycling at its finest!
