about

our first attempt at a product...
as i remember it , i got to jims moms basement in annapolis in the afternoon for our recording session. jim had everything set up and brian and tina were already jamming. dana and keri were there too and can be heard in between takes. joe came over after me - he said he had walked over and was hungry and wanted to borrow my car so he could "get a sandwich". i gave him the keys and $10 for a sub , and he split , only to return hours later with no sandwiches ! meanwhile we had already recorded this e.p. , with everyone taking turns singing...

that being said , the tape sat in jims moms basement with some other stuff from this era , in a box , growing mold , and falling apart . here it is restored as best we can using digital technology...
