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
