Didn’t realize he was there for auditions.

I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. These two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

There was a third guy they auditioned...Steve Silva. He ended up in a band called Dirty Blonde.

Were you around at that point? If not, at what point did you get involved?

I was around through an old roommate, but never saw the band play or worked for them until after they got DeVille. I think I saw his 2nd show.

Never met Matt Smith. He had already bailed for Pennsylvania by the time I was on board.
