I used my dad's Fender Twin and the same Tele Deluxe I use as my backup to
this day... but did I find a way to make 'em sound bad?  You bet your sweet

Conversely we all thought we wrote great songs but we all hated each other's
material (or more likely just each other) so we were stuck with covers.

five original songs, and we were almost good.  Almost.
