Remember the Jukin’ Lemons, Irrational, Dave, Dave and Dave? I am biased, but we had some great Mount bands when we were in school. I also remember Gimme The Gun by the apartments, Great Train Robbery on Echo Field and a few band battles in Memorial Gym. Those were good times. We also had Paul Cilinski nights in the Tudor Room, and Mike Dalton of Jersey Shore fame in the Tudor Room and taking the “walk of shame” if I remember correctly (Karen?? you still alive out there?).
I also remember a legend about Don McLean coming to sng American Pie years earlier at the Mount. All in all, good music has always been a part of the good times at the Mount.
Here are a few of the music memories I have form the Mount:
Glenn playing Blues Traveler non stop in his 4Runner
Bill McGrath singing Doors… loudly
Sean Murphy sounding just like Cat Stevens
Tim Myers soloing to church music in the chapel during mass (which ticked off a few classmates.. you know who you are…2 Joes if I recall)
Greg Cartnick putting spells on the women by playing “Kiss The Girl” as he was trying to close the deal in his Jeep.
Jen Turano singing at the Plaza in Gettysburg
Well, this year at the Bicentennial Reunion, there are going to be some great live shows. Steve Liberace on Friday night, and The Fabulous Greaseband on the Terrace Saturday night.
WHAT WAS THE #1 SONG FROM OUR CLASS? RESPOND TO THIS POST WITH YOUR ONE SONG!
Just saw the lead singer from Gimme the gun and wouldnt you know it he brought up the show at the Mount with fond memories.. I’m looking for Johnny D to sing his famous version of “Looks like rain”!!
Courto! Looking forward to seeing you this weekend.
Mount music memories….. Nirvana, Smells Like Teen Spirit. Great song to rock out to in a small dorm room packed with sweaty drunk classmates moshing their hearts out.
Ahhh the memories.
