iT WAS ABOUT BEING ORIGINAL FROM THE START-WRITING OUR OWN MATERIAL.

And I do mean from jump street.My first band "The Mankind" We were ten years old in sixth grade in elementary school and bugged our parents enough to get us instruments and we rehearsed four times a week and wrote our own songs.Our first gig was class day upon graduation from Longfellow School and we performed our original song "I'm Coming back (To You Baby)"And brought the house down!!I was on lead vocals,Mike Snow on drums,Tim Schwenk on Guitar with Gary Quinn on organ and bass pedals with many thanks to our go-go dancers Shelia Steele and Sharon Gallup.We were so serious about it and prided ourselves that nobody was ever late for band practice.The number one rule of the biz is that you must not be late.
