Details:
It had been decades since their high school rock band, Ground Zero, succumbed to the realities of work and family. But Chip and David decided to give it another go, forming the “Black Cats,” a blues band, with the rest of the Ground Zero crew: Joe Lemanski and Henry Nigro, as well as new drummer Rick McCarthy.
It was as if nothing had changed since those weekends they spent rocking the local coffee houses and high school dances in the 1960s.
“Once we started playing together again, the connection was almost instantaneous,” Lemanski said. “These channels that were just kind of etched in my musical background – everything just fell into those channels.”
There was Chip on keyboard and vocals, Joe on bass, Henry on guitar and vocals, Rick on drums, and, of course, David, the guy who Lemanski said could play Clapton better than anyone except Clapton, on guitar. Sure, everyone was a little older, but as Lemanski said, “it was the like the good old days, only better.”
But just as the Black Cats were getting started, Kenney broke the news: he had been diagnosed with cancer. For his friends and bandmates, the thought of losing Dave didn’t register at first.
“We had always had that, ‘Dave will be cured and everything will be fine,’ (notion),” Lemanski said. Then reality set in, and Dave’s short time “kind of set the emotional tone.”
What at first seemed like years away suddenly was within months, and Kenney’s friends rushed to give him something that could encapsulate their years of musical brotherhood: the Black Cats first and only recorded album. It would take a few miracles, but it would also reaffirm the unique bond that music, friendship and history forged many years ago.
The black Cats are happy to announce that sales of this CD go to Dave Kenney''s family.
