Do we look nervous? Hope not.
The Farewell Session CD Release Party When?: Saturday, June 7 at 7 pm. Where? Russo's Books at the Marketplace on Ming Avenue in Bakersfield, California What? A CD release party to welcome aboard the release of the EP, The Farewell Session, recorded at the home of the old Buck Owens recording studio, aka Fat Tracks, aka Pig. Being the underground underdawg's underground underdawg, I don't know how I pulled it off, I didn't think I had that much star power. But I managed to secure one of the fastest-rising underground nu Bako Sound recording stars, Mr. Hank Ray, as an opening act and lead guitarist. Recorded on Wednesday, April 2, 2008, in the last days of the old place---the very same place that the songs pay tribute to. The songs are a tribute, not only to the place, but to the rich history created there, and the giants that once considered it their stomping grounds. The studio management went to great lengths to afford me privacy for this session, going the extra mile by insisting that the session be closed to TV cameras, a favor they didn't do for other acts that were also working on noteworthy last minute projects there. I assure you, it wasn't a matter of favoritism, it had to do with their respect for the uniqueness of my project as a tribute to the old place and to the giants that made music there. So, they kept me free from distractions, and I was able to avoid the media circus that followed the news of the closing of the studio. When you attend the CD release party, you will hear Phat Chance, a song written when I was in doubt as to my chances of getting in the door to record this tribute; The Last Man Standing, and Walls of Sound are Fallin'. I will also be recording The World is Coming to an End, which pays tribute to the closing of World Records, another historic musical landmark in Kern County. At the party, you'll also hear songs from past and future Dr BLT CDs. Be there. Celebrate history with me. For more information, go underground, and remember: If you're not going underground, you're not going anywhere! Bakersfield Sound Underground 2 comments from 2 users

The one on Stockdale Highway closed, and there are special memories and a special history connected to the store when it was at that location. I do appreciate you keeping me posted on that development, but, I was aware of that. Bruce told me about that when I visited the place at the old location for the last time, prior to completing the song about the place closing. That's why I presented the glass as half full, not half empty, at the end of my World Records tribute song, The End of the World. And I intend to stop by and see Bruce, as well as Pat, and give each of them a copy of that song, if they are interested. The thing about Pat that everyone in this community should be keenly aware of, is that nothing he does ever dies, it just evolves.
