2003-2006

Charlie and Robert Mascaro played a few gigs as a duo, circa 1971-72.Then there was a band called Cherry Pit, led by Mascaro, featuring Pickett.Charlie goes to college in Gainesville, then returns to south Florida. Pickettsays, “In early 1977, Mascaro formed a band called Such Trash (Mascarocalled them ‘the first original Florida punk band’) with himself, me, JoeyCaleri, and Rob Remias. Our one gig was the backroom at a K-Mart in Ft.Lauderdale (maybe 12/31/76?). In mid-1977, my first wife fussed me outof the “band” and Mike Montgomery took over on guitar.”

Charlie got divorced, and starting hanging out with the Cichlids, managedby Mascaro. Mascaro found Barry Seiver’s studio, and sent Debbie Cichlidand Charlie in there to learn how to make records and overdub. Barry saidto Charlie, “Man, you sound just like Mick Jagger, we have to start a band!”They played one gig as “The Eggs” at the Premier A.O.R. in Hollywood inNovember 1979. Robert Mascaro convinced Charlie to change the name toCharlie Pickett and the Eggs. “Mitch Mestel quit because he thought BobbyMascaro would rip us off when we became millionaires,” says Charlie.“Seriously, we drew 15 friends to the gig he played.” (Mitch Mestel claimshe grew tired of Robert Mascaro’s anti-semitism.)

Jim Johnson helped out on bass for three shows, then left tojoin the Chant. “He is the nicest guy in rock’n’roll,” saysCharlie. John Salton was in The Girls, The Reactions and theYoung Normal Americans. Sticks was in the Roll N Pinz, andLarry Joe Miller.

Charlie Pickett & the Eggs #8 was THE classic lineupthat recorded Live at the Button, Open 1, 1982; TunedUp and Howlin', Jaxpax Records, 1983, West Germany;and Cowboy Junkie Au-Go-Go, Open Records 1984.Dave Froshnider joined after leaving The Weasels. Inthe summer of 1984, the Eggs were doing gigs out ofNYC. Times were tough. Johnny didn't have a place tostay, was immersed in his heroin addiction and re-turned to Florida.

Charlie Pickett & the Eggs #9successfully auditioned for Twin-ToneRecords and started recording Route33, but the sessions were strained,and they hit the road with the albumunfinished. Charlie blew up at Froshon stage in Ann Arbor, and Frosh/Marco/Stix decided to quit when thetour finished. Charlie Pickett #1 arethe players that finished recording andoverdubbing the Route 33 LP.

Charlie says, “This line-up toured the entire U.S. except the Pacific Northwest. Weplayed 60 shows in 110 days, with two weeks off to record Route 33, and one weekoff due to a van wreck in LA. This was a hard-working outfit.” And without bookingagent/road manager Richard Shelter, the Charlie Pickett & the Eggs footprint on theclubgoers of the day would not be nearly as extensive.

Charlie says, "In 1980-83, the players fromthe scene would sometimes recombine. Iplayed with The Eat 3-4 times as TheYeehaws-playing alt-country-rock. TheBobs and I played as The Flies 2-3 times. Iforget what we did-I think everyone justbrought in 3-4 songs, mostly roots rockwith a twist of art."

Charlie Pickett &the Mothers of Immersion 2006

Charlie and Johnny drifted apart musically. Charliewanted to continue on playing blues-rock, whileJohnny preferred to play psychedelic/garage rock.

This line-up first played together April 28, 2006.Rick Rossano plays with The Dillengers.

Dave Frosh’s first gig with the Eggs was at the Edge,Singer Island 12/31/81. Everybody knew that Froshwas taking over on bass as soon as the Weasles playedtheir last gig EXCEPT Jim Johnson. He found out listen-ing to the Frosh being interviewed on the local PBS radiostation while riding in a car with Pickett/Salton/Galway.

This line-up was the only one keyboards wereincluded in a Pickett band with Bruce Wismerplaying both guitar and piano.

Nobody thought Shibler would be interestedin playing bass for the Eggs, because he wasTOTALLY into progressive rock (Gong, ELP,Yes, Genesis, etc.)
