Design Notes
Once upon a time, our friend and fan Jeff Jensen was in charge of cultural events for the City of Treasure Island, and he used to hire local bands to play festivals on the beach. During this golden age, I think he was putting on three of these every year. We played for several of these shows - right on the beach! Sarasota Slim ran sound, and on this occasion he made a multitrack recording using his PreSonus board. We took it to George to mix, and a mere 8 years later, here it is for your listening pleasure.
This was a very special concert, because our good friends TC Carr and Lori Cherry joined us on stage, and each sang a tune. Also Jeff Avrin, who played bass with us on and off for many years, sang a classic Rock Bottom number. Sadly, Jeff left us in 2016. This is the only recording I have of him singing with us.
I am very conscious of how lucky I am to be living this life, playing with great musicians and great friends, on the beach!
