After the breakup of A Sordid People, Flash began writing songs with a friend Mike Clarke on Friday afternoons. Eventually Vinnie Cimino was playing with them and ‘Group Therapy’ was formed. Flash’s then girlfriend (now wife) Jo played keys and sang backups and the rhythm section was Ted Henderson on drums and Chuck Johnson on bass. The band also included a trombone player named James Watley. ‘Group Therapy’s’ high point was a really cool show at El Pasaje’ with The Utensils. Chuck Johnson had left and St. John DeBellis was in the band at that time.
