Dust

Around 1993, I got a call from Steve Koch asking me to join Screamin' Sam. A band featuring Sam Ferrera, Toronto punk legend formerly of The Viletones and The Ugly. Sam Sam and I had actually played together once before back in 1979 on a song I wrote which was recorded by Tyranna. Screamin' Sam lasted about 5 years resulting in a CD called Dust. Due to Sam`s health I was disappointed to see Screamin` Sam disband in 1997. During this time I also did some gigs with Cry Baby a band Steve Koch had played in. John Borra showed up at one of these shows with his guitar to do a warm up set. I think this the first time we met although I had seen him playing bass with various groups and around the clubs.
