I've told my story before but I'll state it again for anyone who missed it.
A long time ago, I approached Terry Taylor and asked him to get rid of that dirtbag hoax of a bass player Chandler, and let me play bass for DA. He agreed and I immediately joined the band. My mistake was that I mistook Brian Duncan for Terry Taylor (I was in the "Women Who Wear Camouflage, and The Men Who Love Them" tent at Cornerstone, and I'd had a little too much Lavoris) and I ended up playing in Brian Duncan's band "The Sweet Southern Comfort Food Band" or whatever he called it. I mistakenly played in that band for 10 years, thinking that I was actually a member of DA, until one evening when I went to see DA play. I sat in the audeince and watched them take the stage. When they started playing, I realized that I wasn't on-stage and that's when I realized My mistake.

I thought it was a trade secret among ALL bass players.

That was a half lifetime ago so I don't exactly remember. I think I saw their stuff in a local Christian bookstore. I remember around '80 or '81 hearing some cuts from Horrendous Disc on Bread'N'Jam, an hour-long weekend Christian rock show on WDJC. Other memories of that show include cuts from Ph'lip Side (Keaggy), Seeds Of Change (Livgren), Stella, This Ain't Hollywood (D&K), Colours (Rez), & Warrior (Arkangel).

I was sure I put in a flippant comment somewhere in this thread, but can't see it.....so.....
I was 20 in 1977. Hah! When SA came out, there was a lot of talk in NZ of "how amazing the stereo sound was". That turned me right off! I thought that if they had to use that as a selling point, then the music must have been pretty useless.
However, after discovering the 77's (Ping Pong) and a few other bands, I started to collect other stuff in earnest. Alarma came first! In 1985 I found a copy of HD and also the first album.
I had a cassette copy of DFBB in my car, that almost everyone who heard it really liked!
But, I delayed the change to CD's because I had a really expensive turntable. I missed out on Fearful Symmetry because of that, as few (less than half a dozen!) LP copies came to NZ. I did buy DFBB on CD though, as my cassette was wearing out.
Years later I paid $90 US at Radrockers for a mint copy of FS......oh to be single again!
As soon as I realised who the Eddies were, and also the Dogs, I bought them up quick...they didn't bring many copies into NZ of anything I liked.
We did get some cool stuff like in NZ like Shirley....and No Sense...., which I snapped up. Then I discovered The Choir.
I have followed the 77's right through their career though.
I have tried to get all the stuff I own on LP álso on CD, with reasonable success.
However, marriage, moving and monetary considerations have slowed me down. (as far as spending goes anyway)
I've been in a few bands over the years, and managed to work a few TST songs into the songlists - Bullet Train goes down well!

that sounds like watercolor memory fer sure!
20 in 77???
I turned Legal in all 50 states that year...(21)
I first heard SA in 80 (had the LP) ..but heard HD out of the gate- they had the LP at the local library. I read in CCM the "delay of all time"..so jumped on it . I loved the sound- it was really not that far from Side 2 of SA .
I was into taping things to cassette ..still got the HD cassette...
I lapsed in the early 90s- but jumped back in with SOTH..and been steady as an Eddie since.
Long live the Band that Wont go away!

I think it was 1973 or 1974 when I first heard David Anus. The song that hooked me was "The Toot of the Flute". It had the airy feel of Jethro Tull combined with the jangly elements of "Peace Train". I was hooked. I remember seeing them at the infamous Blue Flame Club in Vancouver. I was underage, but really tall for my age and I was able to sneak in and watched their performance from the side of the stage. Their drummer Ed McBastard, had hair Larry Norman would envy, and after the show he would actually put it up in a bee-hive. Freaking cool. Of course the real meat of the band was Terry Tailor. He had a way with a phrase that was uncanny. His song about "Soup for the Lord" was something I'll never forget.
Soup for the Lord
I drove here in my Ford
I watched a little TV
Until we all got bored
I went into the kitchen
The cupboard they was frenchin
The labels on the cans
Were in someone's trash can
We took a chance and prayed perchance
For soup, soup for the Lord
The solo by Jerry inspired kids all over the Pacific Northwest and parts of British Columbia to proclaim that Jerry was Clapton.
Of course, like most of us, it was the release of Hemorrhoidous Disc that secured their place in rock history, followed closely by Alarming.
Anyway, that's how I came to be a DA fan.

| I've told this one a thousand times |
     |
I was younger then, but then again, weren't we all?
My sister and I went to the local CBS, back when these places were uniformed by old couples not unlike the 'Akendorfs'. We were both big rock-heads and record collectors. She put away the Billy Squire and Pat Benatar and picked up Sheila Walsh and Petra. I gravitated along with her, but neither of those selections really spoke to my inherent... shall we say, weirdness?
But on that day, when she was looking for a copy of "More Power To Ya", I saw "Doppelganger" buried waaa-aaay in the back of the rack. That mysterious mannequin on the front, the monochromatic art design, the odd sense that this disc didn't really belong here... I was roped in. I bought it without knowing what it was going to sound like.
The first listen was kind of scary. I hadn't a clue what was going on. The backup vocals had all kinds of creepy edge on them, "Hollow Man" was an art project gone mad... But "Here I Am, There You Are" hooked me, forced me to listen to the whole thing again. It wasn't long before I proverbially 'got it'.
The thing is this: the album didn't ape anything I knew from the mainstream and it didn't run in the same stream all the other CCM artists swam. It was a completely different animal, unique to itself and that's what attracted me most. No faux cover bands. No church choirs moonlighting through wish fulfillment. DA was the real thing, making music, taking it seriously (even when it was funny)...
And here I am today, still hanging around.
