day 25 | ‘now leaving euphoria’

* 1981

i took a year off from college between my sophomore and junior years
i hadn’t declared a major and had no real direction toward one
i joined a band called euphoria. they had an agent and gigs that paid well.
mostly high school dances playing whatever songs high school kids wanted to
hear.
at first it held my interest because the other musicians were good
then it didn’t. i stopped rehearsing and my playing suffered
so they fired me
i couldn’t blame them, but i was still surprised and hurt when i got the call
it was the keyboard player
he did say: “as a person you’re a ten”
that was nice

    Oh this is classic! Your Peter Frampton period, apparently.

    I’ve managed to keep the copy of this flyer you gave to me back in the day. I’ve been afraid to let you know, since you don’t like to dwell on the past (until now). Note that Robert is actually smiling in this shot (he always copped alot of Vacaville attitude).
