notes

After a day of freezing rain the winds pick up and it begins to snow. Do we cancel the gig? Its my call. I call it wrong. It takes Peter two hours to drive to the club and another hour to set up the recording gear. Everyone in the band seems tired. Nobody shows up to listen. We play for a couple of hours and go home. Nobody really says much. The tapes sit in a box for 14 years. This is the unedited rough mix.
