Watson Pryor made this collage of memorabilia – a live performance photo from a St. John’s concert, a poster we had made of a photo in front of a St. John’s stained glass window, some tickets for our concerts (ca 1973).
Advertising poster. This photo was taken at Lands Ford in an old grave that had been dug up. The headstone (which was extremely heavy) was lying on the ground beside the grave. We stood it up and our photographer (John Frazier) stood in the grave to take the shot.
Hereafter performing live at Carowinds. ca. 1973.
Dave Duncan at Concert of Friends (October 1972). Dave was usually behind the scenes as our sound tech, lighting tech, and recording tech. He also took many of the photos you see on this page! This night, he joined us on stage for a very special performance!

Our first band (note the ages in the caption). Paul Revere and the Raiders were big at the time, hence the name to be in vogue. Once Danny joined us later that year, we had the beginnings of our band called Hereafter. Danny, Watson and I played together until late 1973. A great deal went on in a few short years!

Our official ad poster for Hit Attractions bookings. We weren’t as much of a southern rock band as this makes us look, but it was a good ad campaign.
Jane Clute interviewed us several times in our early years. This photo was taken in Stev’s basement (Greenwood Lane) – we used black light paint to paint the walls. When the lights were out and the black lights were on, it was something to see!
Hereafter at Carowinds (ca. 1973)
