In Memory of

Dave Baroh

Our first real musical incarnation was called ‘BANNED’.  John was too smart to count on us rank amateurs for gigs, and had been previously committed to another group anyway, so he moved to another band that seemed to offer more of a future because they were willing to wear matching suits.  Dave wanted no part of that.  So Greg Bigsby played lead guitar in ‘Banned’.   Greg now lives in Haines, Alaska, where he owns a fishing boat and still plays with an old time group called the Fish Pickers.  They gig in Germany during the off-season of fishing.  Like Dave, Greg is one of a kind - a very creative human being.  ‘Banned’ evolved into The Thymes, a timely herbal  reference.
