Oh wow! I saw Dog Cheese around '84 as well. My first time at the Spud! I guess the Jazz Ministry show was not the first time I saw Vinnie. I believe Vinnie was playing red Yamaha's. I have a Dog Cheese boot from about this time.

There was only myself and my HOD buddy CBrady in the room for a good hour watching this rehearsal. Then later watching Dennis, Greg, and Louie do the same thing.
