th’ Bullfrog Willard McGhee and Clifford Wagner. We called ourselves Public Domain and put out a record called th’ Crazy Ol’ Man’s Chorus. As it turned out, there was another band out there called Public Domain and they were doing better exposure-wise than we were - so we changed our name to th’ Crazy Ol’ Man’s Chorus and decided the record was called Public Domain.
This photo was taken by Rachel Hickey for the cover of that album - must have been around 1992 or 1993 in Boston, Massachusetts. We were heavily influenced cover-photographically-speaking by Moe Ash.
I own that Crazy Ol' Man's Chorus/Public Domain cassette, and just had it digitized by a techie friend. Great cassette. Your version of 1952 Vincent Black Lightning is by far the best around, bar none.
ReplyDeleteI have the cassette too and it's pretty beat up - would love another or better yet, a CD. BTW, I heard Red Molly do Vincent Black Lightning last night and this version is still the best.
ReplyDeleteWhoops - contact at cdebern@verizon.net if anyone knows where I can get a copy.
