Way Back in 1984....

Post by Joe Guy »

my brother called me and said he was writing a couple songs and wanted me to help him record them. I packed up my guitar and Sony TC630 reel to reel recorder and headed down to Santa Cruz where he was living at the time and spent the night. We finished off the lyrics and I learned the tune and we recorded this in one take. It was good enough for us at the time.

I just rediscovered it a few days back. I backed it up to a CD back in the 90s.

This is audio only so you don't need to look at it. I stuck that photo on there just to avoid a black screen. Tony died a little over 11 years ago.

Very nice and thanks for the memories, Joe.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

:ok
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Thanks for sharing and nice work. Sorry for the loss of your brother, losing a sibling early is very difficult.

You gentlemen missed your calling. Could have starred in a comedy musical variety hour. The Guy brothers à la Smothers. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to each of you for taking the time to listen to the tune (or at least part of it 😊) and commenting. That's my brother Tony on the left in the photo in case anyone was wondering...
