Conversion

I have spent a few hours digging out and converting old cassette tapes to mp3, which is proving easier and a lot more fun than I had expected. I have converted my largely dormant MySpace site to a MySpace Music site, where some of the results are now available for streaming. I have started with some unreleased Grundies tracks from the 1992 session we did at Easley - McCain studios, which yielded the single "You Look Good"/"San Antonio." The five tracks are:

Lawman (Eddie Bond, arranged by The Grundies)

Trey Harrison - guitar, vocals
Jeff Green - bass, vocals
Bob Fordyce - drums, vocals
James Enck - tenor sax, vocals

I Found My Love in Memphis (George Clappes, arranged by The Grundies)

Trey Harrison - vocals
Jeff Green - bass
Bob Fordyce - drums
James Enck - guitar

Cowboy Song (Red Harrison, The Grundies)

Trey Harrison - guitar, vocals
Jeff Green - guitar
Bob Fordyce - drums
James Enck - bass

(This song was actually written by Trey's then-toddler son, Red)

Fire in the Driveway (slow version) (The Grundies)

Trey Harrison - guitar, vocals
Jeff Green - bass, vocals
Bob Fordyce - drums
James Enck - guitar

Buddy Up (The Grundies)

Trey Harrison - guitar, vocals
Jeff Green - bass
Bob Fordyce - drums
James Enck - tenor sax, guitar

(This recording reflects the way we used to play this live - two instrumental fragments up front, followed by "Buddy Up," a song we wrote in Jeff's living room in about 20 minutes, as I recall.)

I have also added some other stuff, including the "Elephant Man" hardcore mini-opera I recorded in 1988, and the exit theme from the Roy Barnes 1993 film "Doom House," which I think was the only part of the soundtrack we recorded which ended up in the film. The players are Bob Fordyce (drums), Fields Trimble (bass), Jack Adcock (harmonica) and James Enck (guitar). I will be adding and shuffling stuff as I come across it, but I expect the Grundies material will remain.
