Stephen MArinick ~ This one hurts, Stephan was an effortless human and as sweet as they come. Even though we lost contact over the years Stephen had been a huge part of my life. JR Achievement and Harvest were one of the first bands that let me drag them around and take their photos, when I really had no idea what I was doing. Stephen believed that I could sing and helped me live out my rock star dreams. Our short lived band, “HOOKS FOR HANDS '' with Christie Winn and Lloyd Whitter was a highlight of my 20’s. I got the taste of the rockstar life and confirmed it was not for me. TWO funny memories: -When we were writing songs, I would record 30 second rifts of samples and drums, and make it my answering machine's message. Steve would call my machine 30 times in a row to listen to the rhythm and noise, as Christie and I layed in bed counting the number of times he called. -After one of our gigs we all went over to Steve's parents house: They had a bar / lounge, never seen that before… Steve introduced me to a boiler maker, never been so drunk, well maybe later in life, but not until then. Thank you mate for being a human, you are missed. #stephenmarinick #Phoenix #juniorachievement #theharvest #boilermakers #jrachievement #hooksforhands #punkrocks #1980 #photographer #popstars #lidocaine #charmedlife (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1-TuwvxbD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
