It is with some hesitancy that I'm doing this. Our bluegrass band from the late 1970's, Bluestem, had part of one of our practices recorded in an apartment on a reel to reel recorder. One mic. The recording was actually done by a photographer friend, who also happens to be the guy that took the first modelling photos of Cindy Crawford.
Anyway, I recently stumbled on the files and converted them to MP3's. And after you listen to this, you should note that I actually slowed them down. The pitch is still where we were at. I was about 30 back then. And we were frenetic.
So please forgive the tone but it's interesting to look back. I'm playing banjo. The mandolin player, Mike O'Connell passed away recently. The bass player, Tim Tyner, who is singing lead on this one, passed away some years ago. The guitar player, David Kolars, and I still play a lot together.
So- a shot back into time.
