Band trips were great, to Six Flags for the first time, for one, listening to Led Zeppelin on the bus.

But the best was when we went to the Mayan Dude Ranch. A group of us stayed up all night, and went and sat on the steps halfway down to the river. At about 3:00 in the morning, the fireflies were sparkling all around us as we talked quietly, and then we gradually fell silent and just watched. We could barely see the river down below, but we could see each other's faces in the glow of the fireflies among the cypress trees.

I will never forget that.

My memory is so fuzzy now ( no - it's not just age - I had a head injury in a car accident - that's my story and I'm sticking with it :-) - I think it was summer band - it was near sunset and one of those sudden thunderstorms was coming in from the west. We were practicing "MacArthur Park" on the practice field - the soft part where there is a slow build of half steps that suddenly bursts into a crescendo with a cymbal crash - just at that moment - forked lightning cracked across the purple thunderheads and the reds and yellows of the sunset.

Wow! It still sends a shiver up my spine - that was one of those 'moments' about band that I will never forget.
