We've had an interesting past week of re-aquainting ourselves with 4-track recorders. A ways back, Dawn Loucks gave us a pile of tapes, and among them were a bunch that had been recorded to 4-track. Thanks now to Paul Poutannen, we have the original machine these were recorded on, and will be presenting the highlights from some of those tapes. We're going to start - since we just had a Bob posting - with another Bob. The one who we've only recently become comfortable conversing with. Bob Keelaghan is a pretty amazing guy, and we've long been fans of his work - which is why this recording of a too-short solo performance from a show in Paul and Dawn's basement is so special. Part poetry, part guitar godliness, all "what the hell is he doing?" Sadly, there's a drop out in the middle of the sing-along "Guano." Since this performance is so short, we're going to point you to a few more Keelaghan-related goodies. First, Bob appears to have [url=https://www.youtube.com/user/bob333dobbs]a youtube channel for his Spam Avenger project[/url]. Here's the great track he did for the much-overlooked Stompin' Tom tribute that Saved By Radio but together about ten years ago: [youtube]0aW9NcAzNJc[/youtube] In among the tapes we're sorting through, we also [url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ng1cye5fd0h70d/Bob%20Keelaghan%20bob.zip?dl=0]found a promo for... maybe a radio show that Bob used to do[/url]? We can't remember what it was from, but we swear we've heard it before (and, yes, we know [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41mMxnj_6xg]the original source[/url]).
