- 1984-05 Promotional poster, Suzy Bogguss & Lisa Smith
In February of 1984 I left Nashville, and headed north to check out a
Folk music coffeehouse called Caffè Lena in Saratoga Springs, New York.
During my 5-month stay there, a couple girls from Illinois came to perform for a weekend.
I put up posters all around town to promote their show.
I don't know whatever happened to Lisa, but Suzy became a huge Country star in the 90s. - 1983-11 Studio Names
A list of Folk music recording studios that I wanted to check out, which I never got around to doing.
I wonder how many are still operating? - 1983-10-5 Delta Records business card
David Stallings was working with me to produce my first album, which never came to be.
Even though he supported my music and tried his best to get me out there,
unfortunately he was only a small cog in a big wheel, and the album was never finished.
The music was recorded but my vocals were never done. - 1983-10-1 Nashville Phone Numbers
My "little red book" of phone numbers of all the producers, recording studios, agents, etc. in Nashville.
Very handy for making connections.
I wonder how many of them are still valid? - 1983-07 Joe-Scaborough-Address
Look at the bottom address in my little black book.
Yes folks, that's where Joe Scarborough was living in the Summer of 1983.
Joe is a former Congressman and current host of the TV talk show "Morning Joe" on MSNBC.
He was a member of my first band, The Establishment, formed in 1978. - 1983 Autograph - Marshall Crenshaw
Marshall Crenshaw had a couple moderate hits in the early 1980s ("Someday Someway", "Cynical Girl").
He did a show in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which is where I got his autograph.
The opening act for him was a little-known Canadian metal band called Helix, who went on to be a lot more known. - 1982-05 Railroad-Map
This is a map of the railroad lines throughout the U.S. in 1982.
I used this map to know how to get around when riding the rails. - 1982-04 Photo-Booth pic
Goofing off in a photo booth somewhere. You could get a strip of four black & white pics for a quarter back then.
No idea what happened to the other three. - 191 2018-11-09 Mikes Lunch 4
