(set to the music of The Beverly Hillbillys)

Oh.....young Jim grew up in a two room shack with a three legged dog and a ford parked in the back

Then one day as his pa looked in the sky, he looked at young Jim and said, "boy I'm gonna teach you how to fly"

..........into space that is

Well the next thing you know young Jim's up in the air, a Starship Captain always beaming everywhere,

But the series got cancelled and things got outta hand.........so he started playing bass in a rock & roll band,

MoonWatcher . . . Twisted Joe . . . and finally . . . Something Salty : )

( . . . I did make up the three legged dog . . . )

Marc Vadeboncoeur
Guitar / Vocals

Marc started playing guitar at age 13 jamming along with the 1st Cars album and learning chords using an Eagles songbook. From there into high school he progressed to listening to Van Halen, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, and a variety of other metal and hard rock groups in the 80s. At age 17 he gigged at the renowned Paradise rock club in Boston with the original/cover group Quantum and played with that group for several years.

In the early 1990s Marc formed October Road, an original melodic hard rock group whom he either wrote or co-wrote all of the material. During part of this time he also played in the progressive cover band Metropolis. In the late 90s he played in a string of short-lived cover groups such as Ludicrous Speed and Decade before joinging what was to become the highly sucessful cover band Moonwatcher in 2001, where he met bassist Jim Ramsey. Upon Moonwatcher's demise in 2004 he took a year off, then joined Rockfish (which eventually became the short-lived 3-piece power trio Spite) as lead singer/lead guitar player. After that he began filling in with the 80s metal tribute group Decadence and eventually joined that group full-time. In early 2006 he joined forces with Jim Ramsey and drummer Brian Melton to form Something Salty.

Brian Melton
Drums

Coming from a musical family, Brian insists he "got the genes" and first sat down on a friend's drum set in 7th grade and never looked back. Continuing to play throughout high school, he even found occasion to bang away at the skins while in the army from 1987 to 1991. After his discharge, he bought a huge Pearl double bass kit "with a million drums and cymbals" and began plugging away at his craft, working in garage bands and eventually original and cover groups such as Shamus Cain, Triaxis, and Nobody's Bizzness.

After selling his kit and taking a few years off, Brian returned to the club scene with a new set of skins playing covers with Morse Code and progressive rock originals with Shimmering Undertow. After both of those bands declined, Brian again took a short time off until he contacted acquaintance Jim Ramsey who was just starting up what was to become Something Salty and who happened to need a talented drummer.
