This was my "Original Music" project, which i called "Strange Syrkas". I had been writing music and recording demo's for some time and a local Seattle record company signed me, in 1994, to put out my material. The first of my music C&M put out was a compilation of Seattle area groups, that had been featured on Public Access tv's favorite show, "Swine before Pearls". We had been on the show twice, so my song "Diametrically Opposed" was included on the compilation and it was getting pretty good airplay on Seattle College radio stations and promoted several top notch bookings for Strange Syrkas, including Seattle prestigious club, The Backstage and further TV spots. Sadly C&M records went broke and the ball ground to a halt. a year later, as grunge music was taking over from singer/songwriter fare. Swine Before Pearls C&M Records
