I was the lighting designer for Street Pajama for a few years. Of all the bands I worked with Street Pajama was probably my favorite, (having a female singer with a brain, talent and a sense of humor was such a relief in the days of big hair boy bands). Oh the stories I can tell! I miss you guys so much! Now that I know some of you are still in town I'm going to be watching and hoping that you'll be playing out somewhere.

Is he still involved with the company? If were is he now. I remember the band Stinky Felix. They were a fantastic band.

I let Mike use my Mesa Boogie speaker cabinet for several months during the 1980 to 1982 to try it out at several clubs. I saw the band many times in Tucson at various clubs and I believe once at the UofA when I was a student. I played with LaMonte in a band in Sierra Vista for a while. He was an amazing musician. Does anyone know the status of the band members past and present? Greetings: Like many of the posts I remember Street Pajama quite well.

Street PJ was a brilliant and eclectic mix of musical genres. I'm glad to hear Merle is still doing it. I write and produce music for film and television these days, but there will always be a warm place in my heart for the Tucson music scene in the mid 1980's. -Ace Baker I was very fortunate that Bill Cashman invited me to play a synthesizer solo on the song “Screwed Again” on Street Pajama’s “I Get Peculiar”.

We recorded the I Get Peculiar album on cassette and used to listen to the album over and over. Several times over the past 20 years I have looked for their music to be released on CD. Would love to have my kids listen and enjoy songs like Maybe Yes, Maybe No, and of course Dave the Roach. I managed to pick up the album from a store in California about 3 years ago, but with no turntable...well have not been able to listen. Add my vote for a request to release on CD.
