THE BEGINNING



So how did you two meet?

S: "At a softball tournament in Clearwater I was playing and Deb was there watching with a mutual friend. When the tournament was over, there was a party by the pool. Deb had her guitar and started playing and I started singing.and we sang together for the rest of the party. That day we made a pact not to just walk away and forget about what happened. Three weeks later we had our first gig."



Were you two doing music before then?

S:"No, when we first met I wasn't doing music at all. I was in college on a volleyball scholarship, but Deb was."

D:"Yeah, I had done a group a few years earlier called "Youth in Asia". It was three guys and me. We played everything very fast."

(Note: more info on Deb's first band to come. But DO KNOW that this band employed a leather clad "Deb Aura" who bears a striking resemblance to our Deb today!)



So how did you get the name Halcyon?

S:"A friend of ours was looking through the dictionary and she found 'Halcyon'"

D:"Golden, peaceful, prosperous, happy. We felt the definition really fit what we wanted to do."
