If I remember correctly, this one was recorded in GC's living room on San Jose Ave in SF. Again, we were practicing weekly. Around this time the scene at Bruno's was really kicking in. This band played every Wednesday there to progressively fewer and fewer people. Graham was getting more and more into writing lyrics which are hilarious to say the least. I can't over-emphasize the importance this band had on my development; my reading, my improvising, my focus. You may know Jewlia from her amazing group Charming Hostess. This was also Elliot's last recording with the group. He was one of the first to bail from the Bay and head East.
