the beta band

Rockit had a slite slip about finding the first betaband chanson he care'd about or what. My first moment of listening to beta was special - i remember it to this day. w. blackie. @ his crib. he was so into getting all the latest goos stuff, he always liked to dj w. the latest hits. Id never heard of them before, ans he slipped on that EP w. their first three 45's on it - he played their wonder hit, the song that will always 'make them' (tho', this moment, the name of it is forgottn - oh wait, dry the rain!!). The song itself starts lazily, struming and low, but builds up and up and up - and then, in the midst of the song, there is this moment, when a single horn sounds out, complementing .... and for me that was the extreme genius moment - this song is incredible!

Switch later to gallos, a random Sunday nite, and me having gotten the 3 EP's Lp dry the rain is on. Played it for Gallo, just the two of us, Shipley off somewhere, were their kids @ that point?? -- and that moment, the horn, flows up. Gallo, ' who has never heard the song before, suddenly lets out a "UHHH!!" and kicks hs leg out to indicate this song is incredible!
