This is the oldest set of recordings by the Grandma Gershwin Band.
Most of the recordings were done on a Panasonic two-track
reel-to-reel deck with the ability to record each channel
separately. Those tapes have long ago disappeared. The music
here is taken from cassette copies of those reels. Some of the
music was performed using two cassette decks.
Part 1: Gershwin
- Floating By Air (5/5/83)
- Mind Your Head (6/7/83)
- Tree Music (7/28/83)
- SAE (10/11/83)
- I Can't Get Through (5/14/84)
- Wendy
-
Class project at Goldenwest College with Wendy. Recorded on
GWC's 4-track in the synth lab
- KUCI ID
-
Recorded at KUCI when I was a DJ there
Part 2: Gershwin & Steve
Steve taught me guitar when I was about 10 or so. Unfortunately,
most of our music was done on the two-track reel, and only a few
pieces are still available. It's too bad I never saved
Revolution 10 or Gar Jam '79. Steve moved in 1981,
so these are all pre-1981.
- Goin' To the Fair
- Two Banditos
- Another Brick in the Wall Part II
-
A few days after we recorded this song (which was a few
days after Pink Floyd played their Wall concert in Los
Angeles), Steve and I attended the "talent show"
at our high school. Four guys got up and lip-sync'd to
the record version of this song. Now that's talent.
Part 3: Gershwin, Chris, & Steve
I never recorded most of the things Chris & I did, so there's
only one song here. The last 4 songs are edited-down from the
only jam recorded with all three of us. The total jam time was
about 30 minutes, the guitar cables were bad, and one of the mics
kept cutting in and out, so the last four songs are MONO and the
quality of the recording is not too high.
- Two Banditos
- Jam Part 1
- Jam Part 2
- Jam Part 3
- Brain Damage
