Hi Mac,
I’m hangin in there at age 63!!
I have a current hit record with Juelz Santana, the Gangsta rapper. I’m playing guitar for Andy Stokes. He’s a singer that sings with Tower Of Power on occasion and has the best R&B band in the Northwest. gig mostly every weekend and some weeknights, when I can get them. There’s plenty of Casino’s in Oregon and Washington to keep me busy
I retired last year, gigging gives me some extra money and keeps me feeling young lol.
I’m lucky to have been a member of Stark Naked & The Car Thieves. Yes it was an ass kickin band !! When I was 19-20, Tony [Ferra] let me in The Red Velvet to watch you guys play. I stood by the hallway near the dressing room, as Tony didn’t want me in the Club. It was close enough to hear and see one of the best groups of all time. Years later, you could imagine how I must have felt getting the guitar slot with the band. I can honestly tell you Stark Naked is still one of the best bands I’ve ever played in.
I would love to see those pictures on the website. The pictures are part of the great history of one of Americas best bands. I noticed there is a couple of empty slots on the website for them at the bottom of the photo page. Hope to see them someday!
How are you doing these days? What are you up to? Are you staying in contact with David & Larry? Will there ever be another reunion? I would definitely be there, if invited. Stay well my brother!
Regards,
Carlos Luevano
