Taper Notes:
View NotesNotes: This recording is from the Blue Monday Jam at Grand Finale, a bar/restaurant on the college strip along Tennessee St. The restaurant was downstairs and out the back; the bar was upstairs opening on Tennessee; room was narrow, dark and barren. The audience was a lot players looking for good music and a chance to sit in. Usually the night would start with the host band doing a set and then it would open up for jams. Absolutely a pecking order, with the known players getting prime time. See also 5-18-92. 1-off mix tape; overall quality is OK but there are some issues on the jams near the end. All kinds of sloppy as Larry says in the intro. Obviously I have the vocals one-sided to start; mix levels out nicely; then it gets kinda funky when different people step up and grab whatever mic they see. Charles is on the Casio still, and about 2 weeks away from getting the 88-key Rhodes. Not sure who is singing on track 11 & playing harp, and on the jams. It may be Pat Ramsey (www.patramsey.com/) or Mark "the Harp" Cassiday; or both of them, which is why I labeled it Dueling Harps. The trumpet player is Don Fortner who would always show up for jams or at Bullwinkles' Friday Happy Hour next door. And it probably is Chris Tarquinio on sax again. Charles refers to the guitar player on the jams as Rick, it may be Rick Redmond. Or it could be a Rick Sparks who I got to know a couple years later. Whoever, he certainly goes off on the last track. One more shout out - Greg Moore, who would often drum at these Blue Mondays and still plays with Tom at the studio. [ed 6-9-08 Actually I was probably thinking of Steve Howell after seeing pictures at Pat's website.] The issue for drummers was always who would bring their set and let everyone else beat up on it. Not sure who is drumming tonight but at least it picked up on tape this time. Blue Monday oddness from the wayback memories: the guy who showed up with the double-neck axe, way out of tune, spent 5 minutes tuning on stage, and sucked. Me getting reprimanded by Bobby for going behind the bar and pouring myself one of his "free drafts for band". Carrying PA gear downstairs and out the back at 2 AM and hoping not to get mugged or busted. Miss Mary out front on the streets, always looking for bus fare to Montgomery. Mary Montgomery as I called her; she eventually stopped asking me. Agony on Tuesday after just a few hours sleep. I worked with Larry in same building at FL DOE. I was in the basement (B2) below him (B1) with 12 stories of hot air rising above us. First met Larry when I worked at a county school board and he was the VOICE on the phone when I needed technical help submitting files to DOE, and he was the first person I looked up when I moved to Tally. Which reminds me, included here is one of my original Blues Bear flyers. Larry decorated his cubicle with them. Enjoy! S Copeland - October 2007 at my usual place and playing hooky from work.
