Avocation – music band from Houston, late 80’s.. help request https://houstonnewmedia.org/avocation-music-band-from-houston-late-80s-help-request/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=avocation-music-band-from-houston-late-80s-help-request Sat, 19 Dec 2020 17:17:23 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=b51a335086e3c94d9914a9210baa10fc

I know this is a long shot. In the late 80's I was in my very early teens/tweens and I lived with my grandmother for a summer. She lived in an apartment complex in the Sugarland area.

I was a goofy 12 year old and had an old guitar in terrible shape and did not know how to play it. Her neighbor was a guitar player an she paid him to give me guitar lessons that summer. He was almost entirely an acoustic player. Pretty genuinely a great guy. At the end of the summer he was selling two guitars, I had no money of course and didn't really think much of it. My grandmother bought me one of those guitars. A sigma D28. (lower end line of martin) and I still have it to this day. I still play it and have most of my life.

I do not remember the guys name. He did give me a cassette tape of his band. The band name was "Avocation", and the title of the tape was "I could have been a fisherman". I did manage to keep that tape for a long time but to be honest I do not remember listening to it much. I lost it along with much more in Harvey.

After 30 years, I would like to find that guy, or anyone who may have known him or the band if possible - at the very least to know his name if he is no longer around.

** yes, of course I have googled. off and on over the years. I can find nothing
