Here’s a couple of shots that go way back….the first is the very beginnings of the band as the Trash Can 5 at a JSC Chili Cookoff in 1979.
Second photo is a shot taken at the Gilruth Rec Center on-site at JSC…when the band had grown and at the time , I believe, was known as the Contraband.
Finally a photo of the old Trashcan 5 band insignia! Looks like it is taking a one way trip to the recycle bin…

In May 2012 we had the opportunity to perform for an indie documentary being filmed called “A Marvelous Era.” The film makers were travelling across the United States to capture live performances of many big bands and to interview and discuss with musicians the current state of the genre in our country. The final film will contain some excellent and rare vintage footage that will contrast and compare the big band music and groups of today with those that made it famous when it used to be considered “pop” music!
Check out what the film crew is up to as they put together the footage they collected on their adventure: “A Marvelous Era”
