Long before ET (the movie) there was ETI (the band). I’m not sure if we wanted to be rock, prog rock or new wave. Some of my earliest recording attempts on 4 track at the Pecan Springs house (late 1980 I believe).

Janice Hargis – Vocal and Keys
Brian Harmer – Guitar

Nice wood! My shop teacher (Mr. Dunlop) would be proud. Chambered swamp ash body (semi hollow underneath) with a quilted maple top:

Flame maple neck with Pau Ferro fingerboard. Pau Ferro is harder (with brighter tone) than Rosewood but not as hard as Ebony:

Here is a Strat “Firecaster” in progress and complete:

Here is the completed Tele:

Here is an old friend (gone now):

I decided to call this next build “The Raven”:

I played in Lance’s band in the Backroom heyday of the late 80s. A few years later he had a song he wanted to demo so I engineered a quick recording at David Barrow’s house ( I believe this was ’95).

River Of Sin

I got Lance to run through one of the old songs as well, this was one of my early favorites of his: I’d Be Crying

Lance Keltner: Guitar, Lead Vocals
John Viehweg: Guitar, backing Vocals
Tommy Taylor: Drums
Kira Small added a backing vocal on “River”
I honestly can’t remember who played bass…

One more from the ’80s, a quick demo recorded at Studio D:ASHES

Lance Keltner: Guitar, Lead Vocals
John Viehweg: Guitar, backing Vocals
Alex Espinosa: Bass
Jeff Howard: Drums

One even older, a rough cassette transfer from the early ’80s:
