A home for the videos I create featuring photos and songs mostly from my own past adventures in the music trade as a songwriter and performer, but also of artists whose work I admire.
Back when music was STILL music. When players could play and singers could vocalize. Probably a four track, maybe an eight track. But no gimmicks, just good talent. This is the studio cut, by the way. I was a six-year guitar veteran by this time and had played MANY band jobs, back when few people could play a guitar. What a great time for music that was ...
OK, but the logistics were horrible! OK? You can rhapsodize all you want Mr. Patchouli oil but, at 67 years old I lived though this and it WAS NOT all love and peace and granola! Just look at that fucking stage! It looks like it's ready to collapse, which it might have! The sound, "lighting" (if you can call it that!) toilets, water, food......Security? Ha! Probably more stoned than you were! Folks, wake up......
Thank you so much Craig Morley for putting this together. I totally love all of the art. What an amazing artist Andrew Wyeth was, Perfect pairing with our music.
Dave Canady passed several years ago in Westchester, CA. I happened upon his estate sale and bought several items of his equipment from the sixties. Cymbals, throne, stands etc. I also got a very nice framed photo of the band. I’ll try to post it here when I get a chance.
Sadly, Bonnie died in 2022, joining Steve and David on the journey to whatever lies beyond this life, leaving Randy Hill and me as the last men standing. I'd love to see the photo you mentioned; I have most of the memorabilia for the band, but there's a chance it's something I haven't seen.
@@karishackmann2492 Thanks for uploading it to your channel. Yes, I have that shot, too; it was taken when we opened for Blood Sweat & Tears and Spirit in Phoenix, Arizona. If you want to see it, and others from that show, watch my video "Dayspring - Blood Sweat & Tears Concert (1969)" The photo you have appears @1:36 in the video.
So sorry for the loss of your precious friend now he has crossed the rainbow Bridge but he is with his furry friends now sending you all my love and thoughts he will never be forgotten because you loved him so rip little man and godbless
"She taught me lessons I didn't know I'd need". Well said. Thanks for sharing your love with us here. In all times, it is wonderful to have these times with Man's Best Friends.
From what I remember reading in an interview, when Cheryl was recording this second album for Columbia, she had other producers in mind, but Columbia insisted she work with european disco producer Barry Blue- maybe because just about all record labels in 1979 were cashing in on the outgoing disco trend and Columbia was no different. Cheryl and Barry Blue worked together arranging almost all the songs but it wasn't the sound Cheryl wanted in the end. Columbia also paired her up with labelmate Tower Of Power group for a song on their 1979 LP BACK ON THE STREETS, the song is called IN DUE TIME. Whatever the song choices were for her albums, the ballads were always the highpoints.
"In Love" is my favorite album of all time, and has been since the day it was released . It's the most complex recording I have ever heard. I still hear new layers of sound every time I play it. Every track is a masterpiece.
Seeing the demo cassette at the end....It really is incredible. Thank you for posting this. It surely should have been on the album. Very odd, it wasn't on any CD reissue as a bonus track. You might have the only surviving copy. I am truly astonished to hear this.
@@CraiginOhioUSA We were given the cassette of rough mixes while the album was still in progress, before the decision was made to leave "The Real One" off the finished record. Also before backing vocals were recorded, which was an additional disappointment, as those parts on our original demo really added to the track. If you're curious, check out my video for that demo "Morley & Harland Songs - The Real One."
