(*performed January 24-February 5 - see below for more info)

01. Corky's Blues
02. Big Boss Man
03. So Glad You're Mine
04. My Starter Won't Start

Total Time ::: 28:43

::: Very fine sound for '67, lovely stereo. Check samples to see if it's yr kind o' groove or to get yr fire burnin'.
::: Warts: Slight distortion at times during some louder parts. Quick stops & starts. Some dropouts/dullspots missed and/or not fixable but most repaired. Overall, a pleasure.
::: Previously incorrectly traded as 1967-03-xx. Cafe au Go Go site says their only 60's dates were January 24-31, 1967 (Howlin� Wolf, The Siegel-Schwall Band, Richie Havens) & February 1-5, 1967 (Howlin� Wolf, The Siegel-Schwall Band).
::: An unknown gen. was DIMED in '05 as source unknown. This version is a known gen., nice quality & hopefully an upgrade.

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

CoolSonics 238 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Along with both my brothers drumming from an early age, Brother Kent took to the harmonica & listened to a lot of Siegel-Schwall Band for mentoring, so it was regular platter fodder around the house. Now here's some live material to spin on your hard drives or on your CD player. Enjoy!

Kudos to Zongo for life support, Lochner for mikes&more & 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). Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, 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, Knees
