1995 brought about the demise of great acts like The Beat Farmers and Dire Straits as well as the last studio album from the Ramones, Adios Amigos! On the flip side, it was not a total loss, the year cultivated fresh new talent like the incredible Foo Fighters, jazz infused Black Eyed Peas and the manic magic of Mudd River.
While working at a local video store, Greg Graziolli and myself would sit around talking about music, guitars and girls instead of putting out the stacks of returned movies, dusting shelves and being kind to rewind the VHS tapes that our customers neglected. A year later Greg, Dave Loiselle and Paul Maas were putting a band together. Still in need of a bass player, Greg asked if I would join and that fall we formed Mudd River.
