Moondog is the latest manifestation of a collaboration that began more than three decades ago. David McLeod and Avrel Seale have been friends since 1973, when both were 6 years old in McAllen, Texas. In high school, we formed our first cover band, The Plan, which played classic rock and blues in the Rio Grande Valley from 1985-1992. In 1990 and ’91, The Plan functioned as the house band at the fabled Pepe’s on the River. This is where we really honed our chops, working 4 to 5 hours a night 3 to 4 nights a week for a few years. Avrel and I continue to play on, as a duo, playing a variety of styles from pop to county.
