College was a time when I really think I had it all. The crowds at shows were fantastic and they’d just show up. You barely had to put up posters. It was so exciting just rocking people. We played Providence clubs like Lupo’s and The Living Room. The Round Band opened for The Neville Brothers and Hot Tuna.

Lisa Loeb and I became very close friends over those years. She’s a sort of combination of Kelly Ripa and Bill Gates. Kind of a debutante meets power broker deal. You know, she likes kitties, and then turns around and swings something enormous with Geffen Records. She’s a heck of a songwriter and guitar player. She can do that Texas stuff where you use a pick and finger pick at the same time with the third fourth and fifth fingers.

Almost any luck I had in show business after college is attributable to her. Here she is on background vocals in this song recorded in 1994.

This Will Never Be
