Out Of Sight

The Brass Buffs Scratch 1

LPS101

From the back cover: ...a band of eight young men whose music appeals to kids who like a solid rock beat and adults who are attracted to the melodic line. In the eight months since this group has formed they have performed at such spots as Phipps Auditorium, The Haytt House, The Hilton Hotel, Crestmore Country Club, numerous high school dances, and a reception for the Vice President of the United States. In the 1967 Denver Teen Fair they managed to place among the 7 semifinalists of the nearly 180 bands that originally entered, and walked away with a special award.

Henry Lewis - Inside Of Your Love

Henry Lewis
Inside Of Your Love
Burgundy Stereo LP #001

From the back cover: There are many singers that come to Music City every year. Very few have the talent and guts to stick it out. Henry Lewis happens to have both of these unique qualities.

Dave Baney Hits The Mark

Malaguena

Dave Baney Hits The Mark

The Mark may have a room on The Delta Queen(?). The jacket notes were written by Vic Tooker, Musical Director For The Delta Steamboat Company.

Online references to Baney are few and far between. Incredibly, I blogged another earlier local press, Up Up and Away featuring Dave playing a local club with his brothers.

I found a commercial CD online attributed to a Dave Baney, So In Love With Jazz Guitar. I also found a photo of the artist that looks sort of like the photo of Baney found on the back cover of this LP.

Baney was a seasoned standup comic and guitarist. This LP is basically his act, stand-up and all. I chose the one track that features his excellent guitar playing.

Doing My Thing - Norm Paavola

This is an Elvis tribute album. The covers are OK. Nothing shocking to sample from. However, the last track on the B side was written by Eric Clark (lead guitar, piano and back-up) and sung in Paavola's "real" voice. There is a charming simplicity to this track that caught my attention.

More Bob Allen At The Christopher Inn - Volume Two

Wichita Lineman

More Bob Allen At The Christopher Inn
Volume Two

The Christopher Inn was a hotel located downtown in Columbus, Ohio. I believe the Inn was torn down in the late 80s. The jacket notes suggest that plans were in the works for an expansion to add 550 new guest rooms, housed in a crescent shape tower rising thirty stories above the entire complex. I assume, this is the odd looking building that you see in the illustration. That never happened.

I used to visit the lounge on occasion in the late 70s and may have seen Bob Allen play. As I remember, the lounge was a classic dark room.
