TransAction

transaction.jpg

TransAction was a band formed by my friend Jon Negus and made up of many of my other high school friends.  We were just a bunch of skinny teenagers playing pop tunes in bars so we could save up money for college.  

In the photo above are (left to right): Jon Negus (band leader, sax, vocals), myself (drums), Kris Bergren (vocals, flute), Eric Swartzentruber (lead trumpet, even though he's holding a bari horn), Phil LaBar (keyboards, trumpet), Chris Negus (Jon's brother, not actually in the band but he helped balance out the picture), and Dan Krimm (bass).  Not pictured: Chad Edwards who played keyboards at many of the gigs and on some of the recordings below, including the live recordings; Tom Stange, who played tenor sax on the original TransAction demo.
