Early Years

My intention was to try to find and post the first ever MDID show, in May of 1985.  I was successful in the first part,  but bulk manufactured cassette tapes not kept in cases don’t tend to last 25 years.   The sound is hopelessly garbled.   Here instead, is a still early performance, and representative of the shows I played at the time with just me and the TR-606, from April of 1986 in the studios of WRUW 91.1 FM.    This was about a month before the actual release of “And He’s Not Gonna Take It Anymore” and most of the songs from that album are played here.  I’m asking $5 for a download, but individual tunes are free, so yes if you want to download all 13 individually you can get it for free.

One Response to “Early Years”

    One summer I traveled from Highland Michigan, a small town in oakland county, to Bostan, MA to visit my brother. During that trip I can remember the muggy, damp day he put on your record, for richer for poorer, Heirloom. I was touched and have been an avid listener since. I shared your music with my closest friends, who could agree; there is nothing like it. Following that year I received “the best defence” as a birthday gift from a friend of mine. Anyway, enough ramblin. I just wanted to say you’re much appreciated, your music is played on our porch almost everyday. thanks! David
