This is a photo I ran across on a music blog somewhere along the line. It is a scan of an insert from a 45 rpm record (an e.p.) released in the 1980's (1982 I believe). The band is Xmas Eve - a Bay Area punk band. (Jerome Capers, Eric Capers and Bruce Rayburn).
Ok, the reason why I am posting this is because I took it. I am always proud and pleased to see some photo I took on the net. Who wouldn't be?
I have a lot of photos from that day in the California desert.

Hi edu,
Yes...it was all so very cool and special. I'm glad I was young then and there!
Notice on the insert the band said "Thanks to:" I am "Cathy" back then - so I'm credited on there :-)
And sure, go ahead and use any of my photos you like. If you go to my site and go into the "About" section you will find an email address - email me and I can send you some exclusive to only you photo if you like :-)
I'll let you know about the book. It will be on either Blurb or Lulu - haven't decided yet. I'm getting there and it won't be long.
BTW - I love your site as well and will be visiting often. I will be linking to you as well.
Please do me a favor - if you hear from Bruce again - tell him about the photos on my site and say hi! :-)

Hi Bruce,
Glad to have "met up" with you again. I just sent you an email. I don't check in as often as I should...hence the delay.
Hi there,
I knew Eric Capers when I lived in in San Francisco in 1986. I just read very sad news about their sister who was very dear to Eric and Jerome(altho' I didn't know Jerome personally). I am Rosemary and I live in Dublin Ireland and I used to have one of those singles( cover insert). ...Oh such brilliant memories of a mispent youth/adulthood!!!!!
Would love to hear from Eric Capers...
I have kids 'n all, now and it is so great to have the memories of those days on bikes in..San Fran.. Coronado, ..San Diego, John in LA. Lynnee and Celeste......
