Andy Pratt

The lineup in the picture above is not exactly the same as on the recordings listed below from The Age Of Goodbye. This lineup included T.O. Steret on keyboard, Billy Loosigian on guitar, and Michael Walsh on bass, who also played with the Road Apples, Jonathan Edwards, and Steve Cataldo with me.

Andy and John Troy during a tour in the Netherlands and England in 1981, during which we open for Cliff Richard in Hide Park, London.

Cliff Richard, who is not well known in the US, was a very big star in Europe during the late 1950s and early 1060s, the equivalent of Elvis in the UK. And I spent many hours listening to him, especially when he was backed up by the Shadows, the great guitar band in UK. So it was a treat to be playing in Hide Park during one of his shows.

The Age Of Goodbye

The Age Of Goodbye was also released under the name Fun In The First World

The lineup on these recordings includes:

• John Troy on bass and vocals
• Billy Loosigian on guitar
• John Curtis on guitar
• Jean-Do on drums

And it was engineered by Michael Golub and remastered by Bob Clearmountain who seemed to have liked the sound of my drums since they’re mixed way up front.

Opening for Stevie Nicks somewhere in Rhode Island. The lineup for this show was different than the aforementioned, although Billy was definitely part of it. The bass player was the great Jimmy Earl.
