Again a bit of memory mist sets in but as I recall…..
Did I mention we all attended Brighton Grammar School?
OK. with that explained, the next phase of the band was gathering together as a band for ‘School House’ meetings on Thursday mornings in 1976. Inspiration was greatly assisted by rehearsals being a great way of skipping chapel!!
Fortunately both the Howard & Kain brothers were in the same house so the 'School House Blues Band' was formed now incorporating Rob Howard on harmonica. Other School House alumni like ‘Barney Rubber Legs’ on piano were drafted in to pound out the 12 bar before morning class.
Usually the repertoire was 'on the spot' improvisations in the nominated key with maybe a Chuck Berry ditty thrown in for good rockin’ pleasure.
