I suppose I've missed this little thread, but a quick comment on Roadmaster. When I was in high school there was no local music scene to speak of outside of bands like RM and Faith band and such. This, remember, is before the Ramones sent everybody off to their garages to form bands. There were very few bands and fewer places for anybody to play. The fact that these guys were local was actually kind of inspiring to a lot of 15-year-old kids, regardless of what they sounded like. I tip my hat to them.

Toby is a real nice guy. He used to come into a couple record stores I worked in, and I ended up living very close to him outside Nashville, IN in the 90's.

I still have my ticket stub from when AC/DC and Cheap Trick opened for Roadmaster, when Sunshine was trying to give them The Big Push. Uh, didn't woik.
AC/DC & Cheap Trick were awesome, too.

I can't even count the number of times I saw Roadmaster.

There's a time when we'd gone to see them in Union City Ohio and on the way out some of the members of the band got broadsided by a drunk driver. We were in the car just ahead of them and Dave, the guy driving us, said he looked in his rear view mirror and just saw their headlights shooting straight up in the air. We all pulled over. It was freaky. It was amazing nobody was killed.

Smasher also did do a brief morning stint on MTV in the 90's...

Smash didn't sing for Roadmaster in '79, it was Steve MacNally then. And Kurt I believe it is Stevie Riley.
