A few months later Steve and Aidas got together again to jam, but this time they pulled out the electrics and plugged in. That night they rediscovered their love for blues and rock and started jamming once a week. A few months later they were joined by Tom. During this time, jams were purely an excuse to drink some beers and make some noise. Songs included blues, rock, instrumentals and original material written by Steve. They were having a great time, but the group was in dire need of a drummer (the drum machine just wasn’t cutting it anymore). They were at a loss as to who to get to play with them. The criteria were pretty tough. They wanted someone who could keep a beat, but also someone who was fun to hang around with. You have to admit, despite its shortcomings, a drum machine never complains and it drinks ZERO beer. Nevertheless, they found the answer in Aidas Z. (son of Aidas B.) who joined the group when he came home, from the University of Hartford. Not only was he great to hang around with, was great on the skins, but he drastically reduced the average age of the band! This configuration jammed for a year or so until they realized, despite their total lack of purpose and ambition, all of a sudden they knew enough songs to maybe play a show. They kept their eyes open and finally were asked to play at a private party. Needing a name for the gig, they came up with “Small Farm Animals” (aka SFA) named, in part, after a friends love of cooking up small farm animals in a pit behind his house. Domingo sat in on the session and has subsequently played with SFA at many concerts, adding a whole new dimension to their sound.
