Live Bait was founded in the early eighties as far as anyone can recollect

 

 


 

At first we could not afford real instruments!
Here Pete (left) and Gregg (right) share a tagboard copy of a long necked Stella.  It would be years before Pete would learn to chord and Gregg would learn to pick.  Dave meanwhile made steady progress on his dung colored three quarter stand up bass.  In the early years audible mistakes were rarely heard.

 


 

But with fame and fortune we were able to purchase real wooden guitars and bass.
Following the purchase of their first real instruments their musical career takes off.  Although they rocketed forward on a steep learning curve, their ability to "fake it" holds them in good stead.
