Once upon a time, there was a band called Tin Can Alley. And I was in it. It was my first real band. Fiddle, mandolin, guitar. Added a bass soon enough. Eventually pedal steel and a female singer, too. We started out playing the usual 60s stuff - The Band, The Dead, The Beatles, etc. We had to make a change, and we got into swing, Western swing, some Southern rock, and more.
This just showed up. It's from a little music festival in Canaan CT, in 1981, I think, and not too well recorded - but pretty well played, if I say so myself. We worked on our arrangements, and came up with some nice touches, like the doubled riffs here, in unison and harmony. This dates from the Dark Ages - before cell phones and wall-to-wall videos, so there aren't any videos of us. Indeed, this is the first time I've ever even seen a photograph of us. Enjoy!
Dave Bradford - fiddle, lead vocal
Lou Florio - guitar, harmony vocal
Steve Gibson - mandolin
