(TV) doing Kids doing King Crimson

I have all your records and a couple of boots.

You guys rocked.  Got any boards to dime?

I'll never forget your tribute to your LDS scoutmaster,
"Touched me in the morning."

Scott, NYC

We were bad and then sometimes we were actually kind of tuneful. We 
called ourselves "Relic" - like after the Pink Floyd album of similar 
name. We started out trying to cover songs like 
BornToBeWild,GimmeShelter,NeedleAndtheSpoon, but as a three piece (and 
later we added a violin playing singing girl), my amplifier , a 12-watt 
Fender Princerton Reverb, was too underpowered to get any good 
sustain/distortion; and I  played a Fender Mustang, which sucked a lot; 
and the drummer was too loud for our cruddy little amps, and the bass 
player was into Queen, Rush, Yes and sorto-glam bands like Angel, which, 
at the time, I found to be a little foo-fee, even though I liked some of 
those bands. We gave up on covers because we didn't feel good enough. So 
we just played our own songs. We were an odd band, sort of punk (because 
we were still learning a lot) before any of us had heard any punk. Ah, 
them 70s.
