Finally, some pictures

A big thanks to Jeff who just sent me some old posters. The first of these I have, but the other two I don't even remember. Well, as I look at them the third rings a bell, but only vaguely. I don't recall the bass player's name in the second one but I do remember he left the band not too long after I became a fan. I don't think there was a connection.

Wow, I had no idea there was this much info on the Tracterz out there.

I posted a few pictures on my blog at chadsconcertpix.blogspot.com and Brad commented there, which lead me here.

So, I can help with some pictures I took in 81-82, but most of them aren't real great. This was way before I learned a lot about photography and began shooting concert stuff very seriously.

And I'd love to get a copy of that No Cover show if you're handing them out.

Thanks, Chad

I just checked out Chad's pictures and it's really cool to see the band in their early days. The photos are actually a year or two before I discovered the band myself, tho, unknown to me at the time, Steve was also working at the ambulance service in Brookings where I would later work as well. (Turns out we even made some of the same enemies at the hospital!)

Chad, thanks for posting the photos and for the link back here. I'm glad to know there are some other things out there on the web for people who have fond memories of the band. If you have any other pictures that you would be willing to allow me to post on my blog it would be greatly appreciated. Full photo credits of course.

If you send a mailing address to me at jambo99[that little symbol above the 2]gmail.com (hey, have to avoid spam at all costs) I would happily send you a CD of their No Cover show. And btw that goes for anyone else out there who might like a copy.

Minor add 9 chords: take the E add9 shape, and flatten the third - G# changes to G (open third string) The A Add9 shape can be changed to Am add9 by flatteneing the third, so C# on string 2 goes down to C (fret1) These are great chords for atmosphere. No Fail: GR, B, GR, GY, B, GY, RY, O, RY, GY, Y, GY, GR Reading the guitar tablature is by and large a truly tough one for guitar players who are just beginning to learn.
