Well. I know this is highly unlikely to produce any results. But we are the Teeming Millions, after all.
Who remembers a local band in San Francisco in the 80’s called Fire Mission? They had a lot of really great songs; two specifically I have never forgotten, one called “Easter” (no connection to Patti Smith) and the other called “She Wore Black”.
They were the kind of musicians that really stand out – very, very talented,
charismatic, and heading without benefit of cleats towards that slippery downward-spiralling primrose path to hell.
But definitely in a class apart from most of the other local bands around.
Better yet, who has recordings of them?
