Nyanza was mainly a top 40 band that worked all the surrounding clubs in the Tacoma, Olympia area as well as playing throughout Washington, Oregon and Montana. We thought that we had a very unique song list, playing more obsure songs than most of the bands of that period. We also enjoyed playing many of our own original tunes.Tim Hall, December 2003
I had many years playing with this band, in fact they were very memorable to me. We had done a lot of road and home gigs throughout the 80’s in a lot of ways Tim helped me grow as a individual and a player. I will never forget that. Thanks Tim.Oh by the Way, I hope you remember the sandwiches at the Nordic Inn, Tim
