Gary Garvin - The Redneck's Redneck, complete with white socks and Blue Ribbon Beer. He smiles while he stabs you in the back.

Gary Garvin destroys Luisa and the Reverbs.

In May 2005, I began playing in the band, Luisa and the Reverbs. I was with them for approximately nine months. We were starting to sound tight, and we had a substantial following, but most important, we were beginning to get several gigs. Then out of nowhere, the band abruptly imploded in February 2006, approximately five months after the incident with John Blake. The person who instigated the break-up was Gary Garvin, who played bass in the band. Mr. Garvin is a bona fide redneck who played in at least two other band at the time, and basically mooched off of other people, in my opinion. He never got any bookings himself, but he sponged off of other people, but was generally uncooperative about providing his availability to play gigs. In addition, Mr. Garvin was good friends with Outta the Way Cafe owner, Chip Berman, and his minion, Brian. Out of the blue, Mr. Garvin took it upon himself to destroy Luisa and the Reverbs in a very deceitful, mean-spirited manner. He blamed me for what I viewed as trivial, but necessary decisions made by Luisa, but were done in consensus with the rest of the band.

The issues really had nothing to do with me, but were done solely to help us get more gigs a particular venue. Specifically, we learned approximately four country songs for a gig at a country venue. This upset Mr. Garvin a great deal for some reason.

The effort to learn new country material was done at the request of Luisa, supported by her husband/manager Ken Sleeman. All of the new songs featured Luisa as the lead vocalist. I sang some backup harmony to support her, but the material in question featured Luisa. Nevertheless, I was accused of trying to take over the band, sing more songs, you name it. (See e-mails with Gary Garvin, myself and other band members.)

Gary's behavior was very childish, and somewhat out of character. It was as though someone had given him the assignment to destroy Luisa and the Reverbs. Gary claims to be a draftsman for the Department of the Navy, and he claims to work at a building in the vicinity of the CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, although he has never admitted to working for the CIA. One thing is certain, he sure does not look or act like a rock star.
