Robert Price (Uncle Bobby)

         Met David Beatty (Drummer) freshman year at Aberdeen High School, 1971, had the misfortune of sharing a gym locker together (he of the size 13 shoe). From that point on became the roadie for Lucifer’s Council. After High School, and a short stint in the U.S. Army, David recruited me to work for a band called Pinoy.

         Pinoy was a Las Vegas style show band made of four Filipino’s, David (Drums), Larry Cianelli (Keyboards) and myself on lights and sound. I was known for good sound, flashy pyro-technics and hard partying. Our Sex, Fire and Space show was known for elaborate costumes, variation of music, concert style lighting and thirty different pyro- technic effects. We were widely known on the East Coast and traveled greatly for three or four years during the late seventies and early eighties.

         I settled down after that wild time back in Harford County and worked various jobs. I met my future wife, Grace Callahan and married in 1986. We have two boys; Jake (born in 1991) and Andy (born in 1993) and started work at J.M. Huber, a chemical company in Havre de Grace.

         In 1999 I received a phone call from a long lost friend, David Beatty, who told me he was moving back to the area. November of that year I attended his birthday party which drew all the former members of Lucifer’s Council (Jeff Lynn, David Bartlett, Mike Essig, Jeff Beatty, and David Beatty) for a jam session and the magic happened again. We decided to form the band, added Fran Bryant as lead singer and played the GREAT music of our youth. That band is called Alton Street in loving memory of David and Jeff Beatty’s late parents, Mimi and Boss. May they rest in peace for without them none of this would have been possible.

         Since reforming as Alton Street many, many good times and GREAT music has ensued.

Come see us and we will prove it!
