One last thing...
And finally, we thought you'd get a kick out of hearing a slice of folkrock from one of our first recording sessions. Tom Dooley (Please Right-click and Save As or CTRL-Click)features the original lineup of Peter Cash, Waynes Stokes, Ronnie von Johnnie, Josh Finlayson and Andy Maize in a live off the floor session recorded at Grant Avenue Studio in Hamilton by Michael Philip Wojeda (mixed by Joe Dunphy) sometime in 1988 or '89. The lyrics are taken from the original folk song, coupled with our own music and melody. Check out Ronnie's lead bass!
Enjoy!
See ya |
