about

This was a fun one to find as I was going through all my cassettes of stuff. I had forgotten that this throw away recording existed. I made a cassette tape back in 1988 for a friend’s wedding and this one particular original song was on there. Obviously, we were trying to fill in some gaps in the cassette. I was playing the guitar, my friend Sean Crain was on bass, and I have absolutely no idea who was playing the tambourine. I used a two track recorder to capture this recording, which was obviously made off the cuff since you hear Sean say, “Let’s make one up” just before he goes into a blues riff. It’s very amateurish, which is probably the reason why I didn’t catalog it anywhere, but it was a fun find that I haven’t heard in over 25 years. I didn’t try adding overdubs or anything for this particular recording. I kept it as is, warts and all. All I did was give it a little EQ and compression. Obviously, I didn’t do a sound check before recording since the bass is very overwhelming and the guitar is way off in the background. But all is fair in love and music. I remember playing an Elektra guitar using a clean channel through an Earth amplifier and the bass Sean used was a Peavey T-40 through a solid state Audio Centron bass amplifier with JBL speakers. This newly found recording, now being put into the new order, will be #525. In reality, this song would have been somewhere between songs #30-200.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
