Poorman’s 15 Minutes of Fame: Rodney Sheppard (Guitarist of Sugar Ray)

“Me and the drummer, Stan, were in a band from the time we were 14 on. So it was a high school band. And that band turned into the Shrinky Dinks, and the Shrinky Dinks is what Sugar Ray used to be called. And we had our very first practice at our friend, McG’s, who was a guest on your show. And him and our good friend Eric Vinge had a house together, and in the summer of 1988, we had our very first practice in their house. Then we moved that on over to Mark’s mom’s living room, practiced there for a while.” — Rodney Sheppard, Guitarist of Sugar Ray
