Fools Face

Gary, 
 
One of my biggest regrets with FF is that I allowed the master tapes of both "I Live Alone" and "Bring on the Show" to be edited out of the half-inch master so they could be played on some radio show. They are now either lost, destroyed, or in a huge box of unlabled tapes. 
 
I wrote "I Live Alone" at a point in my life which was extremely formative, and "Bring on the Show" was a song Jimmy wrote when he decided to go ahead and join me in the new band that became Fools Face. We recorded those songs at the same session as "Way Back in '78", in 1978, of course. The session was a demo session at the same studio in Batesville, AR, where we went back later and did the Here to Observe album. Ah, those were the days, my friend. 
 
We have nothing from those days transferred to MP3 or WAV files, in spite of numerous requests. I wonder if your recording is from that little bar in Houston the first time we were there. I can't remember the name of the place but I remember the drink we called Liquid Ignorance !-D 
 
I love your website and admire you for carrying the torch.
