Tommy and Stevie Gerlach and L.T. Swisher (circa Spring 1980)

ANYWAY (Pat Devlin) - Recorded in the summer of 1979, this is the only original song C.E. ever played. Pat Devlin soon left for the East Coast and Stevie and L.T. became co-guitarists. This features the original C.E. lineup with Ken Hanson on drums, Pat and Stevie.on guitar Tommy on bass and me on farfisa organ.	Me and Jimmy Johnson at Mike Moga's garage - (circa Spring 1980) Ken Hanson and Tommy Gerlach - (circa Spring 1980)
ANYWAY (Live) - This was recorded at the "Last Waltz" going away party held at Andy Peterson's at the end of the Summer before Pat's family moved out East. We had a coin box made out of a Nestle's Quik can which had a crocheted cover of a man that we used to collect "beer" money during gigs and this was the night "Corny" got thrown under the wheels of Pat's departing commuter train.
MINGLEWOOD BLUES - This was recorded at the "Last Waltz" as well. The beginning is typical of the type of discussion that went on before each and every song. This has all the usual suspects with the addition of Jaimoe on harmonica and Kanaval on "YEAH!"
MYSTERY DANCE> PEACE FROG - This was recorded at Dougall Smith's party in Spring of 1981. "Airhead" was my nickname at the time and we used to check microphones by saying "Airhead 1 Airhead 2 Airhead 3". Don't ask me why. Everyone in our collection of friends seemed to have nicknames: Toes, Stumalo, Jaimoe, Samos, Tea Bags, Smitty, L.T., Kermit, Tuna, Kannabis, Kimo and many more.
UH, UH, EUGENE - Also recorded at Dougall's, this song came from a novelty record we heard called "Crazy Joe and the Variable Speed Band". I include it purely for nostalgic reasons...it should NOT be listened to seriously.
SOUTHERN MAN> BASS SOLO> CHELSEA - This was recorded on Don Schumacher's driveway at a rowdy party. and dedicated to our old friend Matt "Muddy Waters" Parker. It's around 20 minutes long with a classic Gerlach bass solo which I end up devolving into an Elvis song (naturally).	Louie, Me, Tom Bergstrom, Jimmy, Tommy and L.T. (circa Spring 1982) Stevie, Dan Jameson, Tommy, L.T., me and Ken Hanson (7-4-79)
MUNSTER'S THEME - Recorded at Sweeney's Springtime party 1981. This is another novelty song that we used to do to pump up the crowd. The Farfisa was a perfect sound for this one. Included as proof of our eclectic reportoire.
TOP OF THE POPS - Another eclectic number also recorded at Sweeney's. This is a Kinks song that we all thought was pretty funny especially since we weren't anywhere near topping the charts. Stevie sings this one.
ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT - Another Kinks song, this one recorded at Mark Smith's basement in Spring of 1981. That's Smitty doing the bumpers at the beginning.
SAINT STEPHEN> LOVELIGHT - Recorded in the Spring of 1982 at the LF College commons room with full sound system and an out-of-tune piano on stage during a campus festival. By this time, Stevie had left to form the Yardapes and Bob Curran joined L.T. on guitar. A friend from the college Tom Bergstrom sat in on harmonica and Jimmy Johnson played drums (his bass pedal broke during Lovelight). Tommy Gerlach and I sang the vocals.
NITE KLUB - Recorded in the Gerlachs basement in late 1982 after I returned from Austin. I believe it includes L.T. and Bob Curran on guitar but I may be wrong. A great song by The Specials that we used to play real loud and would jump around on the couches at Delta House.
MOODS FOR MODERNS - Also recorded in the Gerlachs basement, this Elvis Costello tune was a staple of later C.E. gigs.
