![]() Our first performance ever, May 20, 1989, before we even were called Sky Blues. It was an outdoor event called "Kidswalk" where people walked around the high school track to raise money for charity. We played all covers, without a sound system, to a group of elementary school kids; not a great gig, but we owe it a huge debt since it's what got us together. | |
