I Saw Marsha Ferber Last Saturday

I saw Marsha Ferber Last Saturday

They say you can't go back

But who are they?

I saw Marsha Ferber last Saturday

In the blast of a punk song

Way too short

In the struggle to channel George Jones

I'll never stop loving her

I saw Marsha Ferber last Saturday

In the sweat drenched floor

Adjacent to a Dry House

In the radio waves

In the eyes of the mosh pit

I saw Marsha Ferber last Saturday

She whispered in my ear

"Good work Todd, I'm proud of you...

I'm proud of all of you"

I saw Marsha Ferber last Saturday

At 123 positively Pleasant Street

In an inbred gene pool

In a powerful gathering

In a growing family

In an unbroken circle

That spins back and back and forward

I saw Marsha Ferber

Last and last and last

Last Saturday

63 EYES and THE LARRIES-Why I'm Living In My Past This Weekend

My first band, way back in 1985 was called The Larries, (pictured here from the Parkersburg News back in 1985 .(i'm the horizontal one) I later formed a band called 63 Eyes and we performed and recorded for years. We still do on rare occasion. We were based in Morgantown and Parkersburg WV as I went to school at WVU. This weekend (May 24 and 25 2013) both bands will get together to pay tribute to Marsha Ferber and The Underground Railroad at 123 Pleasant Street in Morgantown along with many other friends and bands. That show has been sold out for some time. We added a show for this Friday in Marietta Ohio and as of this writing there are still some tickets left for that. (See link below)  

Marsha Ferber was like a mother to many of the Morgantown bands. She went missing back in 1988 and was never heard from or found. She and the Morgantown scene folks who I will forever call "family" consisted of all those fine people who ran our favorite music venue, The Underground Railroad with Ferber back in the day. It was a real fertile time for music in Morgantown with the amazing WVU radio station, U-92 supporting us young, up and coming artists along with The Underground. So, I'm digging into my musical past this weekend along with many of my musical friends to pay tribute to all of them. I am grateful. Love, Todd
