Fred A. Locke Asks A-Bazouki “What is the Blues?” and More — Home Brew excerpts

“Thirty two? Well it rhymes with ‘Sue’ and ‘How old are you?’…. And yes we recorded them as we wrote them, sort of, as we worked them out, meant as a demo for other musicians we want in our band. Moving from place to place at the time. Places where we couldn’t be too loud, sometimes places we shouldn’t have been. We had an old pickup truck that fit the piano. But it’s not so easy to move. Not really portable. Anyway, what had you asked, Fred? Oh, our friend. We ended up in a tiny basement apartment next door to the laundry room, we recorded most of Volume 1 there, and he would ride his bike over after work and listen to each song and he loved them just as they were, and he really pressed us to put them out as they were. He only thought we should re-record ‘Crossroads’ when he realized we’d left a line out. ‘See that no one knows me.’ We hadn’t meant to leave it out.”
