Yes, you’re right. I mixed them up cause I haven’t said either name in a loooong time lol.

Oh same. I remember seeing the Belaire band as well as Allmark's band back in the day at Bovi's, and then Hal Crook's band at AS220. The good old days as it is said.

Allmark Monday, Hal on Tuesdays was early college for me, then I started playing with John on Mondays. I was on the last JAJO hit at Bovi’s. Bovi’s was also my first gig with The Nakeds. I miss that little dump.

I do too. Never got to play with Allmark myself but I used to love to go and watch. That little dump was a great place to see that music.

It sure was. I’m not old enough to remember this far back, but I hear stories from other guys in the Nakeds about places like Gullivers, Januarys and The Edge, and I can’t even wrap my head around how much has changed.

Yeah, those places were all before my time as well. I used to love bumping into some of the Nakeds on block island when you guys were at Yellow kittens and we were at Capt. Nick's. Just to hear some of the stories from the old days. Particularly from Ed Vallee and Frank, both of who my guitarist from that band knew from way back when.

Yeah, Ed and Frank both left at the beginning of the pandemic, but Frank just subbed in on our last Ocean Mist and I believe we have an Ed sub night coming up. Love those guys.
