- My cousin Missy (left) came from California to a Porch Chops gig at the Town Wharf in Wilmington back in Spring of 1989, I believe. She arrived with her date BUD (Blow Up Doll). We didn't play here much after this. Wonder why.
- Brad, Dusty and TJ Hill at the Red Snapper (May 9, 1988). TJ was the first musician Brad played with regularly after moving to Delaware. He has since moved to San Diego and was back visiting when they played this gig.
