Army

 While D.R.Phantom was struggling as an anti-aircraft  platoon commander in Yugoslav People's Army, his friends in Bela Crkva regrouped and continued entertaining the public of Bela Crkva. Dancing parties took place in the famous garden of Labor University during the summer of 1977. The guitar was taken over by Mr. Ranc Egon, while the singing post was assigned to Mr. Vojnovic Dragan, with whom D.R.Phantom, accompanied with late Ranc Tibor, a close relative of Mr. Ranc Egon, began his journey through the world of music. Mr. Vojnovic, apart from being an excellent singer, helped Mr. Bicady a lot by playing the electric piano.

 On the base of some accounts the band enjoyed a considerable local popularity.

 Yet, the story ended with the first drops of autumn rains. As soon as the season came to an end, the band dissolved and summoned to play never again.

TRAPPED IN AN AUTUMN COUNTRYSIDE DAY

  How odd the day is today;
Colors and leaves float the opposite ways.

 I want to take part where hope prevails;
Where passengers on the board curve rails;
Where a noisy crowd splashes down boulevards;
Where scholars march forging their plans. 

 ***
Turn into a stone the world today!
Turn this marble day of late summer into your lips obscene;
Proffer your body like a child, shamelessly, as you always do;
Take us far from this place away - anywhere you like to.

Mr. Zlatar This is the right place to mention one name that played so important role in the course of the Last Step. This post is about person who is not a musician. His name is Mr. Zlatar Milan. His manner is quite different than of those who played in the band. He always acts in a business like fashion. Yet, he likes music, more precisely: music and dancing. That's why he stays close to POP music, while considering the fans of R'N'R as some kind of eccentrics. Nevertheless, he was fond of all that a lot. He did a great deal of good things to the Last Step. Actually, whenever were in any kind of trouble, the crew of the band addressed Mr. Zlatar for help. Their appeals were never ignored. Finally, during making records in Belgrade he was the one who made the job done.

The Beginning It is possible to trace back the birth of Poslednji stepnik (The Last Step) into mid seventies of the 20 th century. The event took place at a scout camp in Croatia, on top of the hill called “The Old Man.” The hill is situated close to the settlement of Kostajnica overlooking its Bosnian counterpart on the other side of the Una river. At the time, both belonged to the beautiful country of Yugoslavia. There, sitting around a bonfire accompanied with the guitar, the two youngsters, Bikadi Zoltan (from here on: Mr. Bicady) and Radulovic Dragan (further on: D.R.Phantom) came to the point that they share the affection about music, in fact, rock and roll music. Having got back home again they animated some of their friends about fresh born idea. The idea was warmly welcomed, so a friend of theirs Mr. Vranes Branislav popped up with the expression Poslednji stepenik (The Last Step) as a brand new name for a brand new music band of Bela Crkva. They were all begi
