Recorded in June 1980 at the Brass Monkey Lounge in the Florida Keys. We had two SM-57 mics hanging from the ceiling about 30' in front of the stage and used a cassette recorder and a Radio Shack Supertape cassette. The aging cassette was finally transferred to digital in the mid-1990s. There's a song on this album that we did not re-record in 2008..."Rock And Roll Taught Me A Thing Or Two".
Recorded in April 2008 at John Lubotsky's house in Dunellon, FL on my VS-2480multitrack recorder. This reunion was a celebration of Michael's 50th birthday, and a wonderful gathering of good friends who hadn't been in the same room atthe same time for over 25 years. There's still vocal work I need to do on acouple tracks, but most only need final mastering to be complete.
This album contains both the 1980 and 2008 versions of the songs. The tracksare placed in back-to-back order, making it easy to compare the older and thenewer versions of each song.
