Post Description

Salem Mass spanned the 70's from 71 till 77 playing mainly in the Northwest and Canada. During this 
time the band went through numerous members and techs. All of which I shall remember as "The Kind" 
or the best of the best. One of our first breaks was meeting Doug Brown, now of GMA, in Sun Valley Idaho.
He later booked us into the best cljbs the Big Sky country had to offer. On three occasions Salem Mass, 
sometimes a five piece, lived in Portland. The first time was because we had just signed an exclusive 
contract with Headwater Rooking Agency, which promptly went beily up like a rotting carp in Lake Lowell. 
Fortunately we landed in the capable hands of Andy Gilbert with a new booking agency in the Pacific 
Northwest called Pacific Talent. 
Thanks to Andy, Salem Mass played everything that was happening in Portland and surrounding area 
clubs and grand openings. The Treasure Valley, in southwest Idaho was where we paid our dues It was 
where most of us grew up, where we wrote, played, partied and evolved, and it was worth every cent. 
Thanks Freddy, Can I have a draw? The album was recorded in a beer bar in Caldwell Idaho called The 
Red Barn, under the watchful eye of it's owner Steve Moore and was engineeredby Lance Parker a mutual 
friend and Caldwell High alumni of Steve, Mike, and myself. And of course therewas the special kind of 
help that could only be offered by the Big Three. 
Original band member Steve Towcry, stiil resides in Caidwell, Idaho and can be found at the family 
business Printcraft. Matt Wilson is teaching and producing from his home studio in Nampa, Idaho. 
Mike Snead is in Brookings Oregon playing with various lounge lizards and doing some studio work with 
me at Madfingers Music.
