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.
