about

Live rehearsal at The Farm, San Francisco, 3/86. Please pardon the lo-fi audio (mono room recording, straight to cassette); some equalizing has been added. The band gave a solid reading of this "Los Angeles allegory." The song was first demo'd in 1979 and scripted for a music video, which was submitted to Pacific Arts/Mike Nesmith. In 1988 it was recorded and issued (with Ron Davis on drums) on YELLOW HOUSE. That same YH recording was remixed and issued on GRATEFUL in 2007 www.cdbaby.com/cd/johnnyjblair3.
