During high school in 1967 in Phoenix, AZ, I started a band with my friend Roger Steen called The Mouth later becoming The Red, White and Blues Band which in turn led to joining forces with founder Bill Spooner’s Band The Beans, eventually evolving into The Tubes. And the rest, as they say, is history.
