The very first photo taken of all 3 of us. Shown [ Left to Right ]* Colin Schebek, Heath Lansdowne, and David Avender.
Not seen: Coffee. Photo taken by bon vivant, Tim Quinlan. That evening at Tim's home we performed 3 songs:
Kickin' Away       ( very early Apricot Brandy - Lost )
   
Unnamed Song     ( featured an Am → D chord progression - Lost )
   
Scrambled Eggs     ( a very early version of our first authentic song )

Here, on this page, is our very last song. As we were quite ready to blast apart, no one wished to debate the title.
 VLS sounded acceptable to all as well as somewhat appropriate; and so ended my first band, The Apricot Brandy.
         

the was david avender ( guitars ) + colin schebek ( bass & guitars & coffee ) + heath lansdowne ( drums & percussion )

Song 14 Very Last Song This track was the truly the very last song on which we worked. It is incomplete and the structure is haphazardly assembled, but I think it best guides one to see where we (or most of the we) wanted to take the band.

The blues and blues variations found in our early tracks such as Scrambled Eggs, Piggy, Soggy, Roadrunner, et al worked well to improve our skills, but some of us wanted something more adventurous; and I think this song was a step in that direction.

Not all of us knew the direction in which were traveling, and you can hear Colin and Heath listening - while we are playing - for some hint as to where I AM planning to take in the song.

VLS was being written as we played it. We were confused as to how the song would sound if we went in some particular direction - - very much like we were when we started at the age of 15. Here, at age 18, the future of our sound still mystified us all, but that concern was unnecessary as I, Colin and Heath split into 3 and went in very divergent directions.
