I was in a band with San Diego Area Music.com (sdam.com) founder Michael Breene. He said; “You have played with and recorded so many bands you should start a record label!” I said, “no way, I just want to play!” He asked; “what would you call it if you did?” I thought it would have to be a cooperative because half the equipment in the studio belongs to friends. “OB Cooperative Records!” I replied. Mike came next rehearsal and had built a webpage with our band photos and music and the logo for OB Cooperative Records. I said, “Hey that’s my idea!”
