Hello I"m musician Sal Paradise (Walter Szalwinski) and I replaced John Adams as bassist in theFruitland Famine Band summer 1975.  I played bass, sang, and travelled throughout the Northwest and Canada with Damon Titus, George Gleason, Suzi Grant,and eventually Peter 'Barnes' Sunstom (1976), until the December 77'/January 78' change to The Enemy.

I composed some tunes for the Famine band, most notably "Pop Tab."

I am currantly an active musician in the CT music scene singing, playing guitar and writing for my trio ROPE and as bassist in The Peacock Flounders. I have been active in CT scene since 1978.

Damon, George, Pete, and Suzi all live in Seattle area still today. In 1980 I booked The Enemy at New Haven's notorious "RON'S Place House of Punk" on the east coast leg of their first national tour.
