Very cool. At that time, I was very good friends with Raj (Banga).
Raj and I connected a few years ago on LI and exchanged emails. His brother Sanj works here in town at a bank and connected
as well. Good guys.
I didn't know Ben as much but I did know all of them just hanging at 117 South Main and all the other dives they played at. I imagine if I pulled up their playlist then, it would be the exact one I listen to now. Love me some TP and they did a great Breakdown, Americal Girl etc.
Thanks for the update on that....Great flashback!
