PK Notes on Música Perdida: (lost instrumentals of 1980-82)

These old instrumentals recordings have been rediscovered, not so much by me, but by friends whom I had sent copies back in the early 80s.
I bought a Teac 144 Port Studio—which is a 4 track cassette recorder. I also bought a Gibson bass, a keyboard and an early version of a drum machine made by Roland. I still have the Teac 144 but I don’t think it works anymore. I still have the Gibson bass and use it often on recordings. These recordings were my first attempt at multi track recording on my own.
In the 60s and 70s I had a few different “sound on sound” recording tape machines.
Wherever you hear a real drummer on these tracks ( 2,5,14,16, and 19) that’s my good friend Jim DeLong. We were touring in those days with bandmates-Curt Bartlett, Lee Jones and Dan Murdock. Paul Clark introduced these very talented musicians to me and they became my band called Crossection. Jim also drummed on my Town To Town and Play Thru Me albums.
The guitars I used in those were the Whitebook acoustic, a Tama classical, Gibson Les Paul, Yamaha SA 2000 electric and my Fender Strat.
So, some of this stuff was recorded between 1980 and 82. Track 9 was British musician Chris Robinson on keys—he was in the Crossection band during the Sheila Walsh tour in the Fall of 82. He was a very talented player. I trust he’s well since so much time has passed since I last saw him. Boy that drum machine just cracks me up. On track 10, I graduated to a better drum machine. I do prefer real drums to machines, but they do come in handy for songwriting.
Track 18 “Buckets of Water” was most likely inspired by Vangelis’ soundtrack to Chariots Of Fire. I was an avid runner in those days and loved that movie. Bernadette and I moved to Leawood, KS in the Summer of 1979 and that was a great inspiration for me musically and where we started our family. I think my fave tracks are the last two—although Lonely Fair doesn’t sound very lonely-Haha!
Hope you enjoy some of these old bits….
