During this period I began working part time at the local TV station, TV-25 in Denton.  My job was to run commercials during the 5 o'clock newscast, and then run the programs in the evening.  

In June 1982, I graduated from NTSU with a BA in Communications (although I had twice as many hours in music.)   This rather blurry photo of me, Ken and Mike was taken at Jim & Cindy Hill's wedding around that time.

My instruments were gone.  I was just working part time after spending 4 years as a poor student.  Needless to say, there was a period of rebuilding.  After graduating, I moved into an apartment in town.  Apartment life wasn't very conducive to making music.  But I did what I could with what I had. 

Here I am using one of those tiny Casio keyboards with a built in sequencer.  I'm recording it onto a quarter inch 4 track that I borrowed from Mike Musal.  Note the home made mixer in the background.  I made that from WOOD.  I bought the parts at an electronics store and built a passive six channel mixer just to have something to use.  This was not a particularly productive period.
