The Porky Pig Show has Sid Fisher, Aaron Bosche, Tom Ogle, Vic Coy, and myself as lead singer.  We all composed songs so we did half original and half covers.  Great Band!!

My memory is of long versions "jams" of Cream songs like, "Crossroads",  where Sid and Tom took turns doing 5 or 10 minute solos each, and often play solos together for another 10 min!.  It was nuts!!

I recall that Sid played a gold Les Paul and Tom a white Telecaster.  We did Hendrix and so many other great groups.

Vic Coy unfortunatley died of a heart attack very young (is his early 20s). Vic was a great musician, playing Piano and guitar as well as a natural Jazz drummer. They were great guys and outragous stories to tell on the road!

In the beginning, Aaron's father was our chaufer and drove us to gigs out of town at high schools and some college campuses.  We often played in Canada.  Later on we drove ourselves.  Mike Caffercki was our agent.

I was still in highschool when I joined The Pig Show and became very popular at my school at Shadle Park.  That was fun as the more popular you became, more girls came around and the jocks and bad guys gave you more respect.  We won several battle of the bands and played together for a couple years.

Aaron left the band and we had another Bass player "Richard" for a while.  I think the band eventualy changed its name to "Rain", and am not sure what happened after that.
