Tony, Paco, and I started playing music together, really learning together, when we were 11, 12, and 13 years old (we are all a year a part in age) and then we met Forrest a few years later. He was a very skilled player, even as a teen, and we were fortunate to have made his acquaintance. Around '89 We started playing out and some of our first shows were at the student union ballroom in Ada Oklahoma. At one of the shows Todd Walker and one of his buddies got the job of running sound and I guess at the time Todd liked us and said that he and his buddy would be willing to travel to our digs with all the necessary equipment and record us a demo. We said, "hell yeah", and so here you have it, the first demo. We recorded it in 1991 over a weekend at "touch it to" Astro's house in Ardmore, and then mixed it at Todd's place in Norman. This digitized version is from my cassette copy. I don't know where the original reels are.
tracklist:
1. coming of creation
2. symbol
3. angel
4. orchid blue
5. thistledown

thanks for this...my cassette copy is way more tape hiss than music, so now I can listen TO the songs, as opposed to listening FOR them.
ReplyDeletehere's a link to the d.o.G. recordings you made with Jesse:
