Today’s planned video post is cancelled. While I was at the Oakland A’s game yesterday, I heard the awful news that Chris Scaparro passed away. He had posted about tongue cancer just 4 weeks ago- I can’t believe cancer took him so quickly. Such a shock.
I got to know Chris while promoting 2 Condemned Attitude shows in Sacramento in early 1987. From there, I became the Sacramento support “hub” of the band, copying and stocking demo tapes to sell at Dimple, and sending the band money and supplies. Chris was pretty soft spoken, I knew Andy and Rick the best, but Chris was always super cool to me.
It was fun interacting with him online- I have been posting a lot of AA stuff from Wayne Vanderkuil’s (and my) collection and he would comment from time to time… you could tell he was proud of what AA/CA/Attitude accomplished.
R.I.P. my friend
