Thanks! Thanks Pete! We were all kind of electronically inclined in late HS and when I picked up the 4 track reel to reel we started to play with it and this was the result. As you can hear, lots of hum, punch ins, there are at least 3 generations of tape to tape for this hence the noise. I think this song took us almost a month to record, re-take, and fix problems. Wade was and still is an amazing lead guitarist. In this piece I'm playing the synth and keyboard (Rhodes) back up. Wade came up with the double tracking idea so we used all four tracks to get the basic mix then we sent it to a cassette recorder, then back to two tracks of the four track, Wade's lead was double tracked on the remaining two tracks, then it went back for final mix to the cassette (hence the three generations of tape). Thanks again for listening! Check out my latest song called Never Say Goodbye - Bond Challenge

Cool - and I take it personally This bursting with analogy - er, make that analog-ish - goodness. This song dredges up all the mixed feelings of my own move last year from downtown Chicago, with its millions of people, to an East Tennessee chain-store suburb no big city in sight.. lots of adjusting to do (if I don't move back)!

"Of Commando Dave and Aurora" is a fast rock and roll song I wrote about my old buddy Dave at college who lived in my dorm at Aurora College. He taught me the freedom of going commando way back then and when Britney and Lindsay were all in the news about that I found that song erupting. And I even found a clever way of rhyming Aurora which is not an easy word and it's never me anyway, it's all my dead relatives that won't leave me alone. This song somehow sounds like Uncle Vinty and Seagal Schwall and The Flock who were all in the Chicago area at the time and either as big as us or bigger. My group was called Rube Tuben and it's nice that you brought it back to me. Actually, those groups were completely diverse except representative of what you could hear at The Quiet Knight and other venues in Chi. Peace Check out my latest song called My Last MJ Post--Hard Times,Man!

old school rock and roll sound. I can def hear a difference between your style now and what you did back then. You were much more straight ahead and riff based then, your music has much more depth and complexity now. I like both though. Better quality than a lot of my recordings even back then.

Thanks for sharing this with us. It must be nice to have gem like this from your past to capture where you were at that time.
I haven't heard too many high school bands that could pull something like this off.
Oh yeah, that lead belongs on a classic rock album!
