A long time ago, I was just a college kid in love with the local music scene. I started a website on Geocities, back before everyone and their grandma had their own website. It was filled with pictures of Texas bands – hence the name The Texas Bands Page.
The pictures weren’t the best, but the website had a lot of heart. And since there were maybe two other websites on all of the internet at the time that focused on North Texas bands, I was always getting a lot of hits and a ton of emails.
Well, times change. Now I shoot for big national publications and shoot international rock stars. I still love shooting local bands, but I don’t add anything new to the Texas Bands Page. And now Geocities is closing down – or closed down, depending on when you read this post. All those bands and musicians will be lost to the public, because I’m not going to move the site anywhere else.
Luckily, someone cared enough about the old days to ask if they could post a sampling of the old site for future viewers to see:
