about

Dear Diary: As Art once said, when asked during a sound-check if he liked the audio he could hear—of himself and the band—"I'm getting used to it."
I have, and I hope you will, too, because this is such a great performance. Read on for details.

For Art's birthday Freebie this Sunday, September 1, I've found maybe the best "Patricia" Art ever recorded and the sound is godawful. I've spent two days on my feet at the computer until my knees locked, driving myself crazy using Audacity to try to get rid of rumbles and distortion. (Which I was responsible for in the first place; I was the engineer using a standard audio cassette—and the TCD9 and the mic for the first time.) Unfortunately, all my fixes over the last two days only make the audio worse. I was unable to get rid of those clicks under the first little bit of piano (finger-snaps by audience member who's got no rhythm?), but that stops pretty quickly. The rumble, well, if I do anything at all to try to get rid of it, I mess with the quality of the music: We'd sacrifice Milcho's deeper tones, and Bob's lovely bass. If I try to modify the treble noises and the ever-present cymbals, we loose Art's and Milcho's high notes. So here is the original recording. Untouched, unedited, RAW, LIVE, and full of passion.

This was recorded In June 1980 at Sandy's in Boston with Milcho Leviev, Bob Magnusson, and Carl Burnett. It's fifteen minutes long. The band is so wonderful. It's tender, it's tough, it swings, it ROCKS. Oh what a wonderful tune, what a BAND!
