French once told me that he'd like to be in as many bands as it took: "when a band sticks I'll know - I gotta be happy in my band". I got to jam in a lot of bands because of French's stance. Most of these bands lasted at least a couple of gigs. Also, French has punched out or "stretched" at least one member of each of these bands.
Godzilla and the Liquid Sound Dragons
The Post Hole Diggers
The Chinese Pot Stickers
The Fall Downs
The Hard Done Bys
French and the Sweaty Bunch - also appeared as just the Sweaty Bunch
The Shed Bangers
Fishy Dumpers
French had this plan to some day play a huge show at the dump. Never happened, but it was a good dream.
The other dream that we always talked about was managing an All Girls Rock Band! We always put that down in school when we had to do those little surveys about our future. French told his co-op teacher to get him that work placement - maybe this was French's greatest idea.
He called from Edmonton last night asking about getting the Hard Done Bys back together. The all girls band is looking like a no show, so maybe it is time to get the band back together.

OO,
for this all girl band, think French would have let me be the guy who got to wipe down the drummer's throne after the show?
