One band, Aid To The Choking Victim, briefly included Blues Traveler bass player Bobby Sheehan.
For a time in the mid 80's after graduating high school he worked for the family business, the Eberhard Faber GmbH pencil company, but was" pretty miserable wearing a suit and selling pencils" and by 1986 he'd enrolled at the Manhattan School of Music to study jazz with future God Street Wine bassist Dan Pifer.

Their music is an amalgam of rock, jazz, bluegrass, funk, psychedelia, pop, Americana, reggae, progressive, and more.
The band broke up in 1999 and reunited in 2009.

Their earliest days include playing Nightingale's and The Wetlands Preserve in New York City where their contemporary's were The Spin Doctors, Blues Traveler, Jono Manson and the Dreyer Brothers.
From their earliest days, fans of the band were known as Winos.
This group of dedicated fans would follow them from gig to gig.
When their touring base expanded Winos would sometimes drive hours to see the band.
GSW was an early adapter of internet marketing, acquiring a domain name and electronic mailing list ahead of many others in the scene.
They also maintained a snail mail list and telephone hotline fans could call to get tour dates from a recorded message.
Occasionally callers would be surprised by a band member answering the phone and replying to their inquiry personally.
Numerous bands and musicians that went on to achieve major success opened for them over the years ranging from Dave Matthews Band, Sheryl Crow and Hootie and the Blowfish to the Ominous Seapods, G. Love& Special Sauce and Dispatch.
God Street
Wine toured the U.S. with H.O.R.D.E. four times and opened for the Black Crowes and The Allman Brothers Band.

As it happened, his father Hal Lieberman was a trumpet and Jazz Improvisation teacher at Manhattan School of Music.

Apollo 8 Genesis reading
On December 24, 1968, in what was the most watched television broadcast at the time, the crew of Apollo 8, at the suggestion of Christine Laitin, read in turn from the Book of Genesis as they orbited the Moon.
The Bible used was provided by the Gideons.
Bill Anders, Jim Lovell, and Frank Borman recited Genesis chapter 1, verses 1 through 10 verbatim, using the King James Version text.
Anders read verses 1–4, Lovell read verses 5–8, and Borman read verses 9–10, concluding the transmission.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
And God called the firmament Heaven.
And the evening and the morning were the second day.
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
