Culture - Then and Now
Dave recently unearthed a group of photos and other band artifacts in an old folder. Included was a group of early "publicity shots" of The Culture (soon to be The Sky) taken by Dave's distant cousin, now-famous artist David Ligare. These were done in the formal garden at Delbarton, which was forbidden territory for us at the time: only seniors were allowed. We had to get a special dispensation (probably from Fr. Rembert) to go in with our private fotog.

Here's a shot of the whole band against the ivy-covered wall.

After playing a set at the Delbarton Homecoming in October, '06 we repaired to the formal garden for a photo shoot. Our old buddy and classmate Steve Block assisted, for which hearty thanks. We set out to replicate the pictures above.
