This past weekend I had the valued opportunity to play with Merrill J. Miller, vocalist and guitarist hailing from Iowa, but living in our fair country (Alaska). An ad hoc assembly was put together by bass player, Pat "The Rat" Wendt including drummer, Marilyn Clement and yours truly. None of us had played together before. As we were setting up, two figures of authority in the small club we were to play in told me of their previous experience with loud bands. When I passed this on to Merrill, he stated the above quote, which were the first words concerning his musical theory shared with me. They truly were spoken with the voice of authority, without malice towards anyone and yet without mercy for the stupidity of hurting people with sound.
