Star Wallpaper Biography
JODY: Among other things. The roots of Big Star - it was more like a quartet. It was Steve Ray, Chris Bell, Andy Hummel, and myself. We had several different names - Ice Water, Rock City. We did some covers and we did some original songs. I don't know if any of those songs carried over onto an actual Big Star record. I don't think so. I can remember covers, like "Funk 49," a Led Zeppelin song or two. We did "Tinker Tailor," the Terry Reed song. That was really our beginning. I met Andy Hummel in the seventh or eight grade through a mutual friend. Andy lived in the mid-town area of Memphis - I lived out East. Andy happened to be playing in a band with this friend of mine. And then probably five years later, I guess, I was still in high school, but I was playing drums in the first college production of "Hair," at Memphis State. And Andy came to see one of the shows, and came up and said, hey, we're putting a band together, are you interest in coming and jamming a bit? I said sure. Steve Ray was at this first jam, and Terry Manning, who's gone on to be a pretty successful producer, was there with a guitar strapped on. And Chris and myself and Andy. The whole thing was kind of disjointed. I walked away thinking it could probably never be organized enough to get anything done. But I was wrong. The next rehearsal turned out to be more of a band rehearsal with Steve, Chris and Andy. We started working on songs. So that was really kind of the beginning - it was more of a four piece. Not to contradict history or anything. [4]
