Gee Rick, the longest and argueably, the most fun, two and half years of my life. Does this mean l get to relive everything, like a five year Iggy and the Stooges reunion?
Hey Rick, good to hear from you. Checked out some of your art--very cool. What was that really cool song you wrote just before you went back to VT? It was kind of glam rock with a real cool turnaround.
I'm in Portland OR, married to Tara (who you may remember) and recently picked my bass back up after 20 years.
Hope you're well.
Hey Rick, I've been taking care of that Screaming Dogs tape since Dano sold me his Tascam reel-to-reel machine in February of 1984.... was great time warp pulling off all those gems from the tape. Some of the songs were only recorded on one track and had a horrible 50 hz hum... but I think I managed to clean it up pretty well.
I'd LOVE to hear stories from you about any memories you have doing those recordings. The machine was in Dano's basement when I visited there in February 1984. Bought the machine from him and he threw the tape in with the deal.... though I had to throw in my Memory Man analog chorus / delay.
Any details you can send me about equipment used in the sessions, who was there playing etc.... I think parts of this tape simply MUST be included in the MFT permanent archives. Got any photos from that era?
It appears there were two different sessions, btw. Audio on the first credits the engineer of the first session as "Dean Phillip Atkins." (very nice of somebody to include that reference).
Still trying to figure out exactly when these songs were recorded. Must be no later than February 1984. Wondering if some of it could be from late 1983.
Also, any idea about the proper song title for the instrumental that I've labeled as "Tough Enough To Be Your Dog" ?
I'm all for MFT and the artists both making some money whether it's NP or not. I'm glad there is another way of getting us out there.
If I would have sold an album in the 80s, I remember most little labels and artists would be happy to sell their t…
PJ- I thought of that too! I could use a new Ping hat.
We aren't too far down the road of the NP thing to turn back. But John is right, if we can find a way to funnel money to artists then I'm all about having MFT make some of that transaction. It…
