In the car on the way back, he played me a CD of his housemate’s high school band, called “[[ListedBlack]].” I thought it was OK, but didn’t think much of it.'' | <blockquote><i>''"Sophomore year in college, film school acquaintance [[Andrew Laurich]] and I were out videotaping a wedding.

''I was very surprised when Rob invited me to practice with his band one day; I had no intention of joining or committing to the project whatsoever. The idea of being in an actual band had never occurred to me. [[Steve Gallagher]] was invited around the same time (maybe a practice later or so), and Rob later told me that he thought I’d be an adequate lead guitarist based on some of the stuff I did in “Space Oddity.” I played a couple gigs with them (first as “Gallagher,” then as “540,” the address of their house) as a backup musician, but I didn’t really feel like part of the band until I suggested that we name it [[Tally Hall]] and Rob actually listened. He subsequently proposed it to the group (Tally Hall was one of many names I suggested via e-mail), and it was unanimous after some explaining to Andrew Horowitz, the only out-of-stater. I was basically Rob’s very inexperienced hired gun until we covered “Blinded By The Light” at the [[Blind Pig]]. Then Andrew wrote “[[Good Day]],” I wrote “[[Ruler Of Everything]],” etc."''</i></blockquote> | ''I was very surprised when Rob invited me to practice with his band one day; I had no intention of joining or committing to the project whatsoever.
