CHOICE: live music in MaineWow. Are you really looking for Choice?
The old band from Medway, East Millinocket and Millinocket, Maine? It was a while ago but
I guess some people still remember. :-) more of these photos: http://pictures.aol.com/galleries/choicereunion/About Choice: The Band
Choice was Ray Skin Jack Steve Joey Mark Jude Jeff, phew....Skin's Website: www.petebyronmusic.com Jack's Website: http://www.jacksguitar.com/ Ray's Website: http://www.raypasanen.com/ The Choice band members changed rather frequently starting with a line up of only three members; Jeff Jandreau, Jude Ippoliti and Ray Pasanen. Along the way, Jude left and Peter "Skin" Byron joined. Then Jeff left and Jack Swanson and Mark Emerson joined in. When Mark had to leave for pharmaceutical training (not kidding), Joey Arsenal joined up with the boys. Then when Joey decided to settle down with a family, the young Steve Hodgson came aboard to play the drums. Choice was well known, of course, in East Millinocket where their blue van could be seen outside of Burnt Land Rips Tavern on main Street for years at a time. :-) I also have some live recordings to get on here with all the various members and some video that my friend George shot at Stacey's. I am going to try and figure out how to put that on here, too, though it may be a bit too technical for me. Now. How about anyone else? Do you have any photos that I can post? Or maybe a little story to leave in the guestbook. View the Guestbook Sign the Guestbook We would all love to hear what you have to say. Or send me some pics or other stuff at bandbseek@hotmail.com and I can add them here. |
From 1985 'til 1997 (?) there was a band who entertained people all over
Maine and a little bit in Canada. This band was called Choice and they
sometimes rocked and sometimes rolled. Choice recorded several
albums and I have converted one into a format that can be downloaded or
streamed onto your computer. This was taken from the cassette that I
have of the Choice album, "Here's To You" featuring Ray Pasanen,
Skin Byron and Jeff Jandreau. You will hear a few drop outs and
such but considering the tape was 17 years old or something, it sounds
pretty good.
