The History section of this web site is very sparse, especially the pages from 1980, onward. With time, these pages will be flushed out with lots of photos, and the sparse text will be replaced with, ah, well - it'll be replaced. The text following 1980 comes directly from Joe Nolte. Hopefully someone out there will be "encouraged" to write me with alternate ideas about the events described...

So The Last got back together, and that summer we put down backing tracks at

Earle Mankey's studio for the album that would eventually emerge as "Gin &

Innuendoes". I laid down a policy at the time that we would do no shows

until the album was finished - which means that theses next few entries will

be alarmingly brief.
