We Of Darker Light
Description
.. this was recorded at the studio on Alden Avenue in Trenton spring 2002. We used
Syntrillium dual Pentium II's,
had some pretty good AKG mikes. It was probably close to the last session there. The last session was when the sheriff came to foreclose on the property ...
... I was introduced to Doc by John Golden in the late 80's. We met at the Candlelight. I forget which night was 'urban artist' happy hour but we connected on
a Keroauc-Steve Allen-Ernie Kovaks beatnik Perry Street vibe. Golden and Doc Long were very influential spirits to the art community ..
