Notes
I dug up some tapes from underneath a pile of dust, only to find a
few nice FM recordings made in the eighties. Here's the first one
I digitized. I forgot all about it, leaning a bit more to either the
"rocky" or the "jazzy" side of fusion these days. Nevertheless, after
listening to it a few times it seems not half-bad and there should be
a few people interested...

Commentary was left out of the CD. The broadcast was longer than what
is offered here. "Absolutely Maybe" and probably "Stick Jam" (partially)
were also broadcast. My tape must have run out, with no other tape
available....sounds familiar?? Sorry about that. However, for all
Steps Ahead fans: those 2 songs must be out there somewhere, maybe
somebody caught them...


Enjoy!
