about

This track originally appeared on the 1983 cassette release "Johnny Rocco", itself a re-packaged version of an earlier compilation mix tape, "From The Livingroom All The Way To The Closet, Greatest Hits Vol. 2". The liner notes credit both Evan Cantor and Ed Fowler with guitars and 'tapes'. Had we taped the movie "Key Largo" off tv and then replayed it via a cassette recorder or was it actually on the tv, 'live' at that moment? I'll be damned if I (Evan) can remember. Yes, of course we were inebriated at that time. We almost always were on a Saturday night at Ed's place on Dahlia Street. How did we get the movie soundtrack without any commercials? Perhaps we did record it and simply turned the recorder off for commercials... this process is lost to the vagaries of time and memory. But both Ed and I remember making the recording on his boombox (called a 'ghetto blaster' in those days).

The most unique band that ever was. Really! ... more
