A Single

Met dearly departed Bob Johnston (see posts from yesterday and day before) through Chris Rand, Yvonne's son. Chris was friends with Bob's late son, Andy, and arranged for me to play Bob a tape of two songs I'd just recorded. He liked them the way they were but arranged to have them re-mixed by Tom Flye (who was working with Rick James) at the Record Plant in Sausalito. They're listed, at his suggestion, as the executive producers of Freeze Please/World Suicide put out during the Californians for a Nuclear Freeze campaign which I was working on. Here's a page for that single on my music site. Can read more about it there and listen to the songs. That's Kelly at nine and me. - dcA
