A couple of hours before the band Meniscus is
scheduled to play at Kay's Cabaret, the members re
hearse in an apartment near Northgate.
An old Jerry Jeff Walker song sounds clearly
through the amplifiers in the back of the room.
A man strums an acoustic guitar sang soulfully;
his warm voice fills the small apartment.
Next to him a man in a wheelchair blows into his
harmonica, producing a constant and relaxed back
drop for the old Walker tune, giving the music a
smooth and unusual fluidity.
The younger, black-haired guitarist sings the next
song, a more electric, original tune.
In the corner, the very tall bass player tosses his
head occasionally to get nis shoulder-length hair out
of his face.
Few bands have a cross-section of members or ma
terial as diverse as Meniscus.
“We play Grateful Dead and Jimmy Reed
Louisiana country blues and lots of other stuff," says
Dr. John Stansell, guitarist and an education profes
sor at Texas A&IVL “The music we play is usually
older than the crowds we play for, and we're getting
good responses."
Stansell, 48, plays acoustic guitar and sings. He
first picked up the guitar when ne was 17.
Mark Sterle, 33, received his masters degree from
A&M in computer science and is now a research as
sociate. Sterle, who was paralyzed in a gymnastics
accident when he was 19, plays harmonica.
“I started playing around on it about 12 years ago,
but first started playing with other people around
five years ago," ne says. "That's when you really
start to learn a lot."
Vocalist and lead guitarist Pete Fuchich, 29, a
graduate sociology student, joined Meniscus after
Sterle and Stansell.
Fuchich wrote the band's six original songs and
Mark Sterne and Dr. John Stansell of the local
band Meniscus rehearse for an upcoming show.
n|*s about 80 percent of the band's 30-song stage j>et.
e band's youngest member is bassist Jerry Cole
man, 22. Coleman, a senior meteorology student,
met the group through Sterle and completed the
lineup when he joined the band around three
months ago.
Coleman says he had never heard any of the
band's cover material before he started playing with
the group.
"It's different for me," he says. "It gives me a new
perspective. I play them like they're my own songs."
For live performances, Coleman says the group
wants to expand its original work.
Stansell says the entire group is contributing mate
rial.
Meniscus has played live locally and rehearses
regularly for future snows.
Sterle says that after trying different combinations
of musicians over the past few years, the members
of today's Meniscus work well together.
"We all pretty much like each other's music," he
says. "This is a good combination of people. We all
have a good time and just like to play together."
