H.O.R.D.E. Stories: John Popper

Aquarium Rescue Unit
What I remember is whenever ARU played no matter where they were every musician stopped and were checking them it out. It was like church was in session. They had the reverence of all the musicians. They did kind of embodied the spirit of the H.O.R.D.E. movement, at least among us. They were an empire within an empire.

Howard Levy & The Flecktones

That harmonica player Howard Levy, he was just a freak. He is I think the best harmonica player on earth on the blues harp. I saw him do something that I never saw anyone else do on a harmonica. You know how someone has a left hand on a piano and a right hand, he can do those independently of each other. We did a jam together and I had to go where he wasn’t because what do you when someone can play chromatically on a blues harp and I can’t. I had to go rhythmically so I was being more of a percussion instrument and he was doing a melodic thing, so I could go places he couldn’t go. It was a great little dance back and forth.

Legacy

Neo-hippie was the term that was always thrown around and “jamband scene.” H.O.R.D.E. was probably a reflection of that. The thing I always debate is are you being shaped by your generation or are you doing the shaping? And it’s hard to tell.

The thing I feel grateful for is that people, attribute such a heritage to H.O.R.D.E. and we’re honored that we could do that. But basically it was trying to solve a survival problem with playing out in sheds and all the rest of it was paths of least resistance

The Highlight from 1992

My favorite moment that first year is a weird one. After the show in Lakewood Ampihteater in Georgia. I’m leaving and I haven’t eaten yet, so we hit a Burger King and they’re out of food. That to me was one of the best moments of H.O.R.D.E.. You come into a town and their fast food joints are empty. That was as close to the reality and the imagination coming together in my bizarre Attila the Hun fantasy, that Burger King in Georgia.

It’s wonderful when we heed the voice of God spnieakg to us. I’m glad you listened to that voice and were able to bring cheer to a friend. I think that most of us are too busy rushing through our daily activities to listen for God’s quiet voice. What a blessing it is when we do!
