I went to America to work at a summer camp in Oregon.
Also 17 years ago, the 4th best band at Camp Kuratli was formed - Bryan and The BeachBums. I still have the BeachBum in my garage. And it was 17 years later I discovered I've been playing our 'hit' incorrectly all these years ... And I still keep in vague touch with the other half of the "Miles Partridge" songwriting team ...
I miss those days and would LOVE to go back ... Maybe for a 20th anniversary reunion gig ...
