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?

Ah yes, the Paxton Flyer. I'd completely forgotten about Mike Paxton barreling downhill in a shopping cart till you mentioned it. What a hoot that was.

If we're going to discuss flyers, who can forget the immortal Guy Perkins Hemy 527 roaring through the front parking lot at Marshall during summer band...?

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?

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 !!!

Speaking of a great partier, does anyone recall the parties at the Bohanon's? Those are a collection of stories themselves!!

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

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...
