03. Still A Fool

Total Time ::: 32:39

::: Great audience tape for the time period & brain meltdown music. Bit of channel volume fluctuation at times. Check samples to be sure it'll be a good trip or to start getting off while yer waiting.
::: Right up front I want to thank T.S. for all the kick-ass music over the years. A first class bluesman & rocker & what a pleasure to watch the man play guitar. Knighthood is in order.

Recording Information ::: unknown stereo equipment -> master audience tape -> 1st generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette, Dolby B on.

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

CoolSonics 084 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Still peak season for good old T.S. & probably a lot of people peakin' in the audience as well. This one will turn yer socks green & put another layer of moss between yer ears. It ain't acoustic nor for the faint of heart. British blues run amok in electric guitar effects land. The "Still A Fool" experiment goes on for 18 minutes.
Enjoy if yer ears are in the right place, but probably not one for the grandkids.

More recordings on the way now that I am able to make up for years of slow netspeed. Kudos to Zongo for life support & Lochner for mikes & much more. A bow to Fast Freddie for runnin' Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace) for over 30 years of trading & friendship. Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed me thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Kneesfudd
