Anyways, we left Stockholm and headed for Bucharest. Laura went and got an Afro, and I put dreads in my hair. Monty said we should look the part if we truly wanted to be internationally known musical heroes.  Miss Not Included was well received all through Eastern Europe, and we made Friends everywhere. When you tell people your a rock star, they automatically want to jam with you. We traveled through Europe playing gigs here and there, we got a new drummer, and then Cher had to take off, so we had to get a new lead singer.  We did this for months, just playing music.  Jamming as much as we could.  We were addicts and sharing the music was our drug. 

We finally made it to Paris, for a battle of the bands where we won 7th runner up, so if the winner and 6 other bands can no longer preform their duties we get to take over.  We were just about to get some t-shirts made, when we decided it was time to decide on a real official name.  We went with Positive Soda Inn and we got to make a DVD of our live show in Sydney. 

Things during this time of our world tour get fuzzy.  We didn’t have any money, Bart was giving us problems.  He was gambling all of his money away, and then he started gambling with the bands money and before we knew it someone was coming to repossess our jet.  Me and Laura were fighting over  things like wardrobes and solos.  Monty was getting fed up with all of it. We were al tired of the rock star lifestyle and started to wonder what happened to the days of making music because we loved music.  Now it was all about money, and tour dates, and band battles, and costumes. 

We decided to save just enough money to get back to the states and leave this lifestyle behind us for a while.  We played in Berlin, Rome, Moscow, and Tokyo, we saved and saved and saved and next thing you know we were on a plane back to the good old United States Of America. We touched ground in Los Angeles, and I packed to leave for Pheonix, with a stop in Denver to see some old friends, then I went up to Seattle. 

Monty and Laura have since gotten married. Bart lives with them and works on reviving his career in the up and coming big band scene.  I heard Cher has an album topping the charts in Kenya, and Slick one of our old drummers has gotten pretty big in South America.

Me, I wait for the day when we can get Positive Soda Inn back together and just jam.  A reunion tour isnt out of the question since our music has touched the lives of so many.

Well, there you have it, the early years of Landing Of The Ravens.
