The year was 1986. It was spring in our senior year and our high school's "senior service" program had just started. Senior Service was a program by which high school seniors go out into the community and help others in need. Some guys were sent to convalescent homes and hospitals to help care for sick and elderly folks which I heard was very rewarding.

As it happened Me, Rosco & Stubby all got assigned to a middle school not far away where we proceeded to play street hockey, football, flirt with the teachers and 8th graders and generally make a mockery of the entire program. Our high school let us carry over our 3rd quarter grades into the 4th quarter without doing a stitch of school work.

This tape had just been released and we wore it out that spring. To this day I can't listen to any song from this album without thinking of that moment in time. Oh yes…
