Subject: Re: Immortal Ram Band Moments Author: Charlynn Helms [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02:47:37 01/15/03 Wed In reply to: Diego Pena 's message, "Immortal Ram Band Moments" on 21:08:01 01/14/03 Tue 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. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Immortal Ram Band Moments Author: Les LeBleu [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 03:32:30 01/15/03 Wed Any stage band trip to Texas A&I. Seeing Mike Paxton fly downhill in a grocery store parking lot on the way home from Six Flags. Sweepstakes trophies. Renting out our cabin at the Mayan Dude Ranch. "Peppy, peppy, peppy!!" A certain tenor sax player getting caught in a compromising position on the Six Flags trip. The college summers when we were home and get together for dinner or some other activity. Making a mad dash to McDonald's because we only had 30 minutes for lunch instead of the full hour, and no one ever received a ticket, I think! Any of you percussionists care to recall the story about cooking spaghetti during practice in the auditorium and the small fire that insued? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Immortal Ram Band Moments - Guy Perkins' Hemy Author: Debbie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:02:38 01/16/03 Thu While looking for old band photos I found a May 1975 copy of The Rampage listing "Senior Prophecies -- What does the future hold for the Class of '75?" One entry: "GUY PERKINS will manufacture mailboxes to be used on De Zavala Road." Hmmmmmm, a possible connection? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: cooking spaghetti Author: Randy Duncan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:29:14 01/16/03 Thu Im not sure, as its quite hazy, but I BELIEVE that one goes to Barry Bohanon, the "real" hippy out of all of us. He was just a great partier, enjoyed life and came up with some HILARIOUS stunts, which of course inspired ME !!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: cooking spaghetti Author: Les [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 04:22:52 01/17/03 Fri Speaking of a great partier, does anyone recall the parties at the Bohanon's? Those are a collection of stories themselves!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: cooking spaghetti Author: Randy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:00:01 01/19/03 Sun I can only imagine.... I never attended any of Bohanon's parties, but I'll bet they were so good NO one remembers them. LOL [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Bohanon Stunts Author: Diego Pena [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:39:27 03/31/03 Mon During one of the Battle of Flowers parades, a group of very senior citizens posed for a picture. They were all smiling, and proud to be marching in the parade. Unbeknownst to the senior citizens, Barry sneaked up behind them, and strategically placed his hand in a place it would be included in the photograph. Barry's hand was in the shape of a gesture that indicated he was telling these folks they were number one (middle finger extended, while other fingers were down...). I always wondered if those senior citizens shared that picture with their friends... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
