May 9, 1998, the Professors play what Bob Kubey called "the most enjoyable gig in the history of the Professors" in the basement of John Barrows' home in Little Silver, New Jersey. About 7-8 delighted fans enjoyed the most uninhibited setever performed by the Professors, with a boisterously informal performance by Bob Kubey as Master of Ceremonies. The set was performed without lead vocalist Jennifer Lehr. Singing duties were shared by Barrows, Radford, and the debut performance of Marie Radford, singing on "Untenured Blues," which she also helped to write. The Little Silver gig also saw the inaugural performance of the Professors' new PA system and the debut of "Eight Minutes" (Barrows and Wallinger) which features some phenomenal slide guitar work by Barrows.

Gary Radford, Robert Kubey, and John Barrows rock a packed cellar with this performance of Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer."	And the fans go wild! Thankfully, no arrests were made.
