As I was driving (well sitting/stuck in traffic) to see Jonathan perform at the Petaluma Music festival last Saturday, he posted some somber news about an old friend:
“My good friend Steve Cammack, bandmate from our high school punk band Bürnt Toäst, has left the world of the living. I saw him briefly this week, but the nurses shooed us away. We learned a lot about life and guitar playing from each other, and from our various lives since. Sad that he’s gone so soon.”
Jonathan let me borrow his collection of cassettes in the late 90s and this Burnt Toast Rehearsal was in the box. This is the only document of the band I have ever seen apart from the grainy photo that he shared last weekend.
