Hey I saw the Big Employees at the Ross! (I went to school with Richard N.) I had forgotten all about his band! I won an informal dance contest at the Ross dancing to the Big Employees. They gave me a beer and I was underage. :) Thanks for the memories, Shari. Btw, your name is familiar. did you go to Central?

I believe the 3 piece was The Big Employees, headed up by Richard Newman.

@Shari I remember seeing Stop the Car at the Ross. I also remember a great little 3 piece... Mr. Big or something like that. they had a song I can still remember "Going Downtown, Baby...I'm going Downtown. I still have a 45 of theirs in a box somewhere.

Yeah Im from Evansville and well I still live there and still play in loud original bands. This town is still boring. Still close minded, but now rent isn't as cheap.

Hi, I'm from Evansville, graduated from E'ville Central in '84. Still go back twice a year to visit the folks.

Evansville is where my mom lives now. I used to go to concerts every other weekend from Evansvillle to Louisville to Indianapolis.

Oh, E'ville...(sigh). It's been a damn long time.

Yay Evansville (or, E-ville, as I like to call it)! I was born there, raised in Mt. Vernon (IN), spent my college (and a number of additional) years in Bloomington, and now reside in St. Louis.

Evansville's homes along the river are gorgeous and the old courthouse and post office are true beauties! I spent many weekend nights dancing away at the Victory when it was an under-21 club. Funny, my parents spent many years there earlier when it was a theatre and now attend the Philharmonic concerts there. That's recycling at its finest!

Andy, yeah, I know what you're saying...the Lemonheads then instantly faded into multi-platinum obscurity. That's such a great perspective when most people have no idea the band even existed pre-1992. If anyone bothering to read this hasn't heard t…

Burd, I would never accuse you of being shy about speaking your mind. And I doubt anyone would have thought me anything but a raging snob from way back. And with the anti-Manilow snobbery of the post below, we continue to have plenty in common. FTR:…

John, it didn't seem like good natured to me when I went back and looked. It reeked of pretentious snobbery. Haughtiness. The funny thing is; I'd probably step up and say something if someone was doing it to you. Incidently, there are all sorts of t…

John I will indeed buy you a drink but you will first have to drive the van of screaming kids northward!
