I saw Scott's band, The Rainmakers, during my senior year at McFarland High School. I think it was the end of '85 or beginning of '86. Me and my buddies, Darryl and Gilbert were the only three punk kids in McFarland. We were there for The Examples' farewell show, sat in the front row of the BC indoor theater, and saw opening bands FEO, and The Rainmakers. The Rainmakers had nice gear and nice suits. Not very punk, and we kinda laughed at those guys trying to be Spandau Ballet, but they were tight. Scott was the vocalist and I can remember two songs from that show: "Highway 46," and their cover of Elvis Costello's "What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love and Understanding." I can't believe I can remember that far back...damn. Years later, we actually shared the stage, when Mento Buru and Slim The Drifter played together at the Downtown Elementary School "Spring Carnival." Now that was PUNK! Rest easy Slim... Thanks Nick for the article and tribute to our Bako...
