Is this Tom playing drums? Sorry Tom, I did the Stick Research.

That’s me, Larry Cepuran on Bass, Glenn Poorman on Guitar and Amy Griffith our singer.
Conditioned Response… Yes, I was a rock star.
circa???
I read the band history/biography on Glenn’s website. It sounds like it was more fun than most people deserve. I wish I could have been there back in the day, but my allowance wouldn’t have convered the bus fare.
You are indeed a multi-facted individual.

O.K., I think Tom now deserves an offical fan club. What can’t this man do?

It was huge. Totally out of control. Maybe not full-on “Motley Crue” out of control but pretty close.
There is just something about being a popular musician that causes people to treat you differently, so that was pretty fun.
Year’s later, one night I was driving somewhere and listening to a local raio station’s late-night “alternative music” show and heard a song that was oddly familiar. I was drumming along to it on my steering wheel and it occured to me, “Holy shit, this is me!” It was cool.
Of course, it was not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things and much more fun in retrospect than in reality.
I have done a lot of diverse stuff though… Pretty weird, I’ve lived the lives of at least 6 people in 42 years.
"What can’t this man do? "
Couple of the basics (sorry Tom, I couldn’t resist)
-
drink a beer
-
find a girlfriend
Yup, can’t drink.
Finding girls doesn’t seem to be too much of an issue. It’s finding one that doesn’t fuck me over that is the problem. So I have given up.
Hmmm, I think this phot is from a show at Henry Ford Community College Auditorium with The Cramps or Rythm Method (eventually Rythm Corp) about 1985 is my guess.
"It’s finding one that doesn’t fuck me "
LOL! Got you again!
It says “fuck me over” there Captain, big difference…
new found respect… YOU PLAYED WITH THE CRAMPS… that’s cool x 2
Dude, one time The Cult had to use our bass amp because theirs detonated.
YOU PLAYED WITH THE CULT!!!
DAMN
Oh yeah. I used to see joey ramone in the video store nea my place beat that!
Damn the cult…
Dude…Tom…The Cult AND The Cramps…Man, had all the old import CD bootlegs of the Cult, stickers on the back of my car, once drove about 7 hours to see them, my brother had 3rd row tix. Ian A was the Man…you made the right lifestyle choice though Tom…saw Ian A at a club in LA a fewe years back and he looked about 55 years old…not good>
I don;t recall that we palyed with The Cult. Or maybe we did… I don’t remember. I think they were playing a venue after us and were having equipment issues so we lent them ours. I think they used Larry Cepuran’s Hiwatt bass amp.
That I recall we played with Rythm Method and The Cramps a few times. That was big fun. WE were always the bridesmaid, never the bride though. WE did sell enough records to break even and even make a few bucks though.
