Tim's First Band - The Plague
|
The Plague,
Tim's first band at John Marshall Jr. High School,
Seattle, WA, 1968. Their very first gig, a Battle of the
Bands
vs. The Liberty 5, a high school age band from
Lincoln High.
This was a dance in the basement of the
Greenlake Methodist Church.
The prize money was $5.00--sadly, The Plague lost.

To celebrate
graduation, the 9th grade class of John Marshall Jr.
High threw a dance in the gym at the Greenlake
Recreation Center. With several gigs under their
belt by this time, The Plague was ready for yet
another Battle of the Bands, this time vs. their
John Marshall rivals, The Third Movement. Another
non-paying gig but this time, The Plague dominated.
In this next incarnation, Harvey Besaw is replaced
by Dan Baker on lead guitar, Tim has switched to
bass & Tom Matz is playing organ.
