3 Penny Opera - Live Pics 8-14-97
June 29th, 2009 Music

These are a handful of pictures that were taken at the recording of our first album, 90% Live.  With the exception of the studio version of Sunshine, the album was recorded live (no overdubs) in front of an audience and TV cameras for the All You Can Eat Texas Music Café in Waco, Texas.  Pictures were taken by my mom, which is why there’s a high concentration of “me” in here.  All pictures taken during setup/rehearsal.
