It was Thursday, January 1, 1987.  I’d worked probably twenty hours in the past two days, plus probably at least as much over the Christmas break.  It was going to be a great paycheck.

And I’d gotten a call back from a bar, McCready’s Pub in downtown Minneapolis.  They wanted to book us for January 16.  I’d accepted the gig.

The year was getting off to a grand start.
