1968
I hooked up with a guitar player from Indonesia by the name of Cornelius Dupe, and he was incredible, and we started playing the clubs and lounges around Springfield, and then headed to the West Coast.
We recorded a bunch of stuff on the way and we were getting into the blues and jazz, and we had a neat duo, and at times we would add to it. We arrived in Venice Beach. It was the hippy ghetto at that time, and we taped our stuff on a little Panasonic tape recorder, and decided to go to Hollywood and check it out.
On the corner of Hollywood and Vine there was a place called Music City, two or three floors of all kinds of neat toys for musicians, as well as an enormous collection of LP's.
As we were going out of the store and hanging out on Hollywood Blvd., we run into this other long haired hippy and we had our Panasonic hand held tape recorder with us, just kind of listening to some of the stuff we had recorded on our way out to California, and we got talking with this other hippy, and he told us he was with Liberty Records and he gave us his name and told us we should go down there, and he said he was from Canned Heat. We did just that and it got us in the door.
We got to meet with Lanky Linstrom, the executive producer with Liberty. His office was furnished with mahogany furniture, leather, thick shag carpeting, and a number of platinum and gold records hanging on the wall, and he wanted to listen to our little Panasonic hand held tape recorder.
We had recorded most of the stuff in rest areas on our California trip. He said he kind of liked what he heard, but with the sounds of trucks and noise in the background, he wanted to hear us live. He told us to get a gig somewhere and to let him know, that he would come and check us out.

Mayberry Blues is a soulful, thought provoking piece of work.
