The Octane Kids play at Lake Reynovia!
On April 21, 1974 the Octane Kids played for a UVA fraternity party at Lake Reynovia outside of Charlottesville, VA. Doug Hornsby, our cousin and a fine guitar player, found these old black and white photos, posted here for your enjoyment.

Band L to R - Bruce Hornsby-Piano, Bobby Hornsby-Bass, Peter Fritchman-Drums, Doug Hornsby-sitting in on guitar, John Friant-Harmonica, Brian Bostwick-Drums, Bobby "Cakes" Bryant-Guitar. This was probably sound-check because the crowd is still thin and Jimmy DiBoise is kneeling in front of the band in his typical "check-the-levels" position.
