This band Fantasia was the offshoot of Trixx somewhere around 1982, which I was in and finally replaced with Jeff and Lori Thompson. Then Trixx reformed as Fantasia, later to become Fantasy Force with Jeff and Lori Thompson. Ed Bray, the Trixx bass player, went on to form the Groceries, and later the Woodies which are still playing today.

I formed the Automatics and continued on.  Fantasia was a transition band for Dave and Cheryl Bray also. The Brays went on  after around a year as Fantasia to form Wild Honey.  Wild Honey was the hot ticket in Tacoma for around 4 or 5 years.

Now my old pal Dave gets his band mates and names mixed up after all these years, but I remember who replaced me. I think they have a picture of me in shock when I heard the gruesome news.  Playing after all, will make you feel like a family.  After all these years we still are close friends & play together once in a while.  I have a pretty good memory for this period.  Kind of funny since things were always a little foggy for one reason or another back then...
