@CanisPundit Wanted to hear it. No heady expectations. You can hear hints of where Lennon might have gone with the raw material over time, which may be as much as one could realistically hope.

@tgraph52 sale price on that Strat translates to a little under $1600. in 2024 dollars - about what an American Pro II would go for now. (Don't bother comparing amps - F doesn't make 'em like that anymore...).

People who refuse to be honest about our history can't be trusted to make decisions about our future.

You may have noticed that it's a - for your consideration:
all CDs + download same price as download (+ modest s&h) at theislen.bandcamp.com !
(and it helps clear a little space in the hall...) (Yes, I'll sign them!)

@northernbassist The energy in this take: Dee and Nigel playing with abandon like in the trio recordings...(and interesting how much of Buckmaster's later string arrangement is presaged in Ronson's playing here...).

Local NTx fiends - I'm out and about this Friday night, January 26th, at Four Bullets Brewery in Richardson, 7-9pm. Musicking will be done!

@aspecurian Now that's a statement we can call get behind.

@tgraph52 We seem to have a plethora, with the Goob, Lt. Goob NotHisRealName, Paxton, Cruz, Ronny Jackson, and on and on and on....

@tgraph52 Best studio capture of Casady's live bass tone at the time - which we all wanted! (and Kantner quotes Wyndham...)

Hey, fiends - tune in to "Under the Sycamore" tonight on knonnow.org from 6-8pm Central for songs from a variety of talented Texans, and me!
