Scott at age 22
Scott performed
with the group for 3 years from 1981 to 1984, doing over 750 shows
Long time lead
guitar player, Michael Majeras
The Pines Club was
a country music venue
The band performed
"live on the radio" nightly. There's nothing like that anywhere today.
A mistake on the
radio show was a big deal since it was all live and no delay. So the band
always did the show sober.
The Pines Club was
a block long and the largest night club in the state of Alaska
Ray Szatmari was
the bands keyboard phenom. He hated country music but liked the money

1983
There was always a
party going on backstage.
