Psycho Nurse Reflection

Psycho Nurse -The Band

It has been about 20 odd years since a small group of friends from the Northeast gave birth to a band called Psycho Nurse?
How nice it is that time slides by so quickly and so painfully slow, all at the same time.
How nice it is to rememeber a lot, yet remember so little.

It seems like I am remembering the good times Psycho Nurse brought to myself and my friends, right now.
Because,for many years I dwelled on how this project was a failure. We did not get the Big Recording Contract. We did not fill arena's on our own bill. We did not win any thing . Those were the important things, RIGHT?
Perhpaps Not!

We did have accomplishments. We accomplished putting together our collective thoughts, in the medium of Words, Music and Performance Art. That even 20 years later still make us laugh and feel warm and cuddly inside.

If your wondering how people can feel warm and fuzzy about a song, call "My Baby's Some Kind of a Pig", or "Suzi Got an Uzi". You just have to really get to know us to understand our sence of hummor and how we express things. It is our way. Most people don't get it. If you get it. Well, then your like us.

It is strange, how time passes, yet our youthful creatitivy stays the same.

The creation of Psycho Nurse and its Run in with the world, is still is remembered by people of our age group, and known to some of the youth.

This band, never should have seen the light of day. Yet it went out and performed.

Hind sight being 20/20. I am thinking right now. How ahead of our time this Psycho Nurse Creation was.

Perhaps it is still relevent? Perhaps not to anyone else but us, Maybe, Maybe NOT!

The lyrics and music, and performance's were all written long before everyone in the USA had a computer. Psycho Nurse-The Band has not existed, on the internet untill today. We did not have a Psycho Nurse Website or a BLOG.

There was no video or audio streaming. The medium was the just the
Stage, Word of Mouth, Print, Radio and TV.
We had no cell phones. Our Tour manager had a BAG Phone that was as big as a Shoe Box, that he took to some gigs. We had no recording studio on our computers. We had to go to write a song, and remember it. Go to a Studio and Record it. Recording cost a lot of money to do then. CD,s were just comming into fashion. The 1980's now seem like humble times and we were just humble people.

Ahhhh ! It was Psycho Nurse. One of the best and worse things you could ever see or be involved with, The good the bad the ugly. The funny and the scarey, all rolled up into one. It was somthing that, included eveyone and excluded no one. Who evey wanted to be a part of it could go along for the Ride. It was fantasty, but reality, It slapped you face all the time. I know it made us laugh and cry a lot! We made it all real . Long before Reality TV there was Psycho Nurse.Maybe you can see the vision, maybe NOT!

Perhaps this will inspire. Perhpas someday somthing you create will be real to more than just yourself. Maybe, maybe Not!
