| Secret Music, 1982-83 | |
| In 1982-84 I had a Studiomaster 4-track cassette system. I picked up some broken guitars at a the pawn shop on Telegraph at Alcatraz, rewired them and also came up with an old Hammond C2 and Leslie. I also had, on loan, my baby brother's alto sax while he was in the Peace Corps in Lesotho. That plus a tiny Casio keyboard, some electric bongos I built when I was 13 which never quite worked but picked up radio stations in an interesting way, and an accordion from the Ashby flea market in Berkeley. I released an edition of about ten cassette tapes to friends, under the name "Secret Music", being that nobody but I ever really heard it... Here are some exerpts from that early period, not direct from masters by any means.... | |
