spike

Well, here's what it is. Spike's in the Coast Guard. Mike is back in Denton. Nobody ever knows where Al is (though I'm sure he's bearded and playing bluegrass). Dan is in Austin. And Mr. Jackson is drummin' in Nashville. Before they scattered to the four corners, they left some, uh, "denoument" recordings. Hopefully, all the August Tapes, the Free Jazz Rosco thing, and some surprises will be made available online FOR FREE real soon. Til then, nope, the band ain't playin' but something is definitely in the works.

A few details -

Band-Aid Surgery was a rap song Spike wrote and recorded as part of an acoustic trio session titled "Free Jazz Rosco." Mike re-imagined the song in his own way, retaining the original lyrics. As always, it was about having fun.



the August Tapes refers loosely to a single afternoon of recordings done back in August with the whole band (though, schedules being what they were, never all in the same room at the same time)



oh yeah, Spike is still tryin' to play in the San Francisco area whenever he isn't out in the ocean on a big boat



here's a link to a site with a recording of "When You Comin' Home" from his first open-mic night in San Fran-
