Recorded in December of 1978. This is the first music
recording I ever did in a studio. Fort Worth friend and wild-man
entrepreneur
Johnny Langdon was visiting San Francisco and we sat up in his room at
the St. Francis Hotel and ate a whole bunch of food he had sent up and I
played him songs on the guitar and he gave me a grant to hire a band and do
some recording.
Peter Coyote got me together with
some of the members of the Pickle Family Circus Band and we met once just
for me to play them the songs and give them some lead sheets and then we
spent two days at
Richard Wahlberg's studio in SF jamming on 17 songs. Richard was legally
blind or close to it. He got up real close to a lot of things and squinted
at them - like dials and tapes - but he did as well as anyone would have I
think on four tracks with the sounds that were coming out. We did it all
very quickly and it shows. I also did some recording at
Doug McKechnie's
apartment with Hokum
Jeebs (the one man band) on the piano and Charlie Daggelman on Bass.
Again, we just ran through the songs - and again 17 of them - and so like
the others, they're not really even demo quality. I wish I could turn some
of the bass down and fix some of the notes. But it was all a good experience
and opened some new doors. Doug and I have been good friends since then and
I've kept in touch with Hokum through the years. He included Away with Me
in his repertoire and put out a recording of it which I'm trying to locate.
I made some cassette tapes from those sessions and passed them out to friends and family. Poor recipients. Mostly I used songs done with the Pickle Family bunch. The ones done at Doug McKechnie's are marked with an asterisk. At the bottom are the official credits for these recordings.
