From the Vault, vol. 5
Another edition of “From the Vault” coming your way. These two entries from a session a did with long time friends Tim Blankenbaker (drums) and Steve Winter (bass) in 1991. Another of our high school buddies, Mike Leach, was working the sound board at The Bayou, a club in the Georgetown section of DC and arranged for us to use the club’s sound stage/sound system for an afternoon recording session. We laid down about 8 tracks, running through each 2-3 times. Mike ran the board. We rehearsed the songs once the weekend before, and think we did pretty good considering that was all the practice we had. Our only audience was the two girls interning at the International Sculpture Center, where I was working at the time, that I had invited to come down and watch.
First, Feelin’ Blue, one of my tunes. And second, Two Girls, a Townes Van Zandt song. Two Girls was the last thing we recorded and my voice was pretty shot, but it’s tolerable.
