Hey I remember.... I think :).... when Banshee played at the RED
BARN! Kinda hard to remember all the bands that played there, but
hey, "wasted but there" moments.... I still have all my old promo
shots and memorabilia from the Red Barn Bands. I'm sure yours is in
there somewhere.

I met most of the bands that came through as I did sandblasting on
glass, made mirrors with the bands logo on them, and sold them or
gave them away to the bands. I also did the large "RED BARN" mirror
behind the bar. Ahhhh.... those were the days....

I have some Rail ticket stubs somewhere too. I will try to find out
when they played the Great Falls and Montana/Idaho circuit. I saw
them quite a few times...

Hi to Lori Mo and Brett....

mcsam
