This guy was famous back in the late 80's but I didn't know of him then (hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque?) . A few years ago I stumbled on the album "I Trawl the Megahertz" and fell in love with his sound, musicianship and engineering worthy of Parsons or Fagen/Becker. It's worth reading about his life and struggles. If you haven't heard that album (Trawl), give it a listen.
In the meantime, here is Prefab Sprout's "A Prisoner of the Past"
@codeWhisperer They've been a huge favourite of mine for many,many years.
