Hi Randy,
I've been searching for any info on you, Scott, Martin, Marian, or anyone connected with Lenord's for quite a while now and just stumbled across this site. I'm back in California again (actually since a few months before 9/11). I miss New York but will probably not got back to live again. Still creating music and art but the last 5 years in New York was my most productive with visual and audio art (details later).
Talk soon.

my friend Jeff H. also of Modesto told me to check out your blog. i played guitar in Chaotic Opera from 1987-1990. we played a show together called "Midsummer Buffet" on July 21st with The Furlongs, Chaotic Opera, Five Fingers and Brocade. Not sure on the year but i still have the 11x17 flyer. i'm guessing 1988.
martin modded one of my delay pedals. good guy. no idea what happened to him.
anyway, great piece of Modesto history here. enjoying the youtube videos. cheers, andy
Trevor Koch mentioned to me that he played bass with us at a coffee shop in the Roseburg Shopping Center, and at a performance at Fred's Place on 7th St.
