Ironically, you mentioned that, I got a residual check for a penny yesterday for Simon and Simon.

One penny.

There were Judas Groupies. There was a group called The Process. Hot Goth Girls, yeah. I'm down. They came to see Gotspell, and I'm playing Judas. And Godspell at the intermission. This is such a good story. Yeah. and I walk in and the owner

at the place looks and he goes

Joe Montaigne, you're someone a bitch

you're going to be in a Godfather movie.

Oh my God.

But that's all I knew.

The pizza guy knows.

The pizza guy.

I know you're a big star and all. Oh, yeah, I'm a big star. But we got to start here. Okay. The

apocryphals. The apocryphal. wow. Knee, the Weasels. Oh, my God, you are going further back. This is your high school band? Yes, it was. About 65? About 64, 65. Yeah, that's correct. Take me. Take you back? I'm very interested in this part. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. And I get

to tell us to a rock and roll god here. This is, this is good for me. This is, this is fun for me.

Well, what it was, basically what it was is, it was a junior in high school and we were in,

it was English, English, English class okay and I remember that

the assignment was we want to do something on English history being in England English

history they said so you come back with a project based on something that has to do with the

history of England and how it's affected so the Beatles so. So the Beatles. So in other words, of course, everybody else was digging up things like, well, there's a Cromwell and there's this and that, everybody's digging up the kings of this. And there was another guy in the class, who was actually a wonderful musician, my friend Neil Sordelli. And he had this idea. He goes, well, you know,, the Beatles are really big now. He says, you know, I play guitar. He says, and you sing, because I've been doing some singing in the theater department at the school at the time. He says, maybe we should just do something. You know, that's English, right? And I said, yeah, that'd be cool. Because we really didn't want to work very hard on this project. So he said, we'll do this. We'll do this thing. We'll come in. We'll learn a Beatles song. You played a guitar. I'll sing it. And we'll say, well, this is part of English history. The Beatles, because they were like red hot at that time. So, of course, we did it. But when we did it, I mean, it was just him and I, and I think we had another guy in the class who just used like a bongo drum to just give us a little percussion. What we sang the song? Yeah. But the class went crazy. Like, oh, my God, this is great. Oh, this is great. It was like, we're like, hello. Well, maybe we got some. More of this. So we decided, just for fun, let's do, well, the teacher then asked this, you know, there's an assembly coming up. If you guys wanted to duplicate this at the assembly, I think the kids would enjoy this. Yes. So, of course, we took it seriously. We get this other guy. Now, these are all Italian guys, because this is Cicero, Illinois. So you were either Italian or Polish or something in between. Yeah. So Chris Montagina.

Yes. Now, these are all Italian guys, because this is Cicero, Illinois, so you were either Italian or Polish or something in between.

Yeah.

So Chris Montagna, John Montaigne, Tommy Masseri, and Neil Sordelli, these four people.

We put together this thing.
