ENTER THE WOODROSE
Fall Eventually I too dropped out of school. When Mick got thrown out of his house, he began staying at my place (me mum had a kind heart.) By chance I bumped into Greg, I asked him if he wanted to hang out and maybe jam. There were amps and a drum kit in my room (Greg says it was Dave Eisan's but I have no recall.) So he, Mick and I played some stuff. Between the three of us something clicked and we became a band. First recording of Woodrose ever |

Winter 77/78 Woodrose Mk. I So Micky brought home Steve Cormier (they both worked together) and we had a singer. A fella named John Eno (worked with Greg) rented some space in my attic, then madness began. We did a lot of, ahem, experimenting* We drove my mother, the neighborhood and my landlord crazy. And we made a bunch of freaky music. *see Ken Kesey etc. |

Spring/Summer 1978 We needed a name. I wanted Captains of Destiny, but that was summarily vetoed. Eventually we settled on Woodrose, after the hallucinogenic plant. This would prove apt as we spent most of that summer playing psychedelic house parties. There was lots of crazy to go around John became an ancillary member of the band, occasionally playing percussion. |

Fall/Winter, 1978
Steve Cormier got the paranoids
(truth be told, he had good reason.)
He took off, John Eno and then Mick moved out.
I had a serious breakdown. Things fell apart.
