ABOUT THE ALBUM: I HAVE A GREAT LIFE-LONG FRIEND IN NEW YORK NAMED MIKE KENT. HE’S A TOP LAWYER THERE, AND WHEN HE CALLED ME IN 1980 TO LET ME KNOW HE COULD GET ME SOME FREE STUDIO TIME IN CONNECTICUT, I SAID I’LL BE THERE EVEN IF I HAVE TO WALK. AT THE TIME I HAD A BAND HERE, BUT ONLY TWO OF THE MEMBERS COULD RAISE THE DOUGH TO GET BACK EAST TO THE SESSION. BABS, THE SINGER (AND LATER MY WIFE FOR A TIME) AND RON THE BASS PLAYER WERE DOWN FOR IT. I HAD TO GET A GUITARIST THOUGH, SO I CALLED ANOTHER BEST FRIEND OF MINE, NEIL BRODBECK. NEIL AND I HAD PLAYED TOGETHER IN LOTS OF BANDS. HE WAS NOW LIVING IN NEW YORK. SO I ASKED HIM IF HE WAS INTO IT AND HE SAID ‘YEAH MAN’, SO THE THREE OF US FLEW OUT TO THE BIG APPLE, MET UP WITH NEIL. REHEARSED THESE TUNES A COUPLE OF TIMES AND WENT FOR IT. I WAS WORKING ON A PLAY AT THE TIME, A MUSICAL ABOUT PUNKS, AND USED THIS OPPORTUNITY TO RECORD A PARTIAL SOUNDTRACK, SO TO SPEAK, THE PLAY NEVER MATERIALIZED, BUT THE TUNES SURVIVED (AT LEAST THESE FEW DID).
