We were high school kids in Spokane and worked for several area school dances, proms, The "Teen Fair" and some gigs at a local restaurant/bar (The Pine Shed) and also a battle of the bands in Tacoma sponsored by the Forester Clubs.

Music included songs by popular Northwest bands, such as "The Witch" and "Psycho" by the Sonics, "Tall Cool One" by the Wailers, and commercial stuff by The Beach Boys, "Last Kiss" and all that silly AM Radio pop of the early 60s.
