@Ed Seith I remember a while back you saying you opened up for BOC, was it with this band?
How was the show, if you remember,It was, but this demo was done very early, and opening for BOC was later; maybe two years later.

Record company didn't like Haner. They said people would mispronounce it. (long a or short a) This was back in the days when people changed their names. John Cougar, etc. So I offered up my mom's maiden name which was West. They liked it and the rest is history. Wish I would have just said no. I was 20 and didn't know you could say no. Should have gone with Brian Haner Melloncamp.Assuming YOU were "Brian West?" What was with the stage name? Is there a story? Love the gold record. That's awesome!
