This Tommy Bolin show is the only original music I have to contribute to the community.

I lived in Stamford CT in the 70s and owned a Kenwood receiver and a Marantz tape cassette tape deck. WLIR sent live shows across the water from Long Island. I heard this show was going to be re-broadcast and set up the tape deck trying to get the levels perfect for the strength of radio signal. That day I was hosting a few friends in the back yard and was sending the show out the bedroom windows. I timed exactly when the 90 minute cassette started and made sure to watch the clock. Just before the TDK SA90 tape hit the 45 minute mark I quickly flipped it over. I kept the tape and played it a few times them stored it. When the 90's rolled around I bought Cool Edit 95 for making training programs, yes the program that once you bought it you would never have to pay for an upgrade again, until of course he asked for more money a few years later. Anyway I digress. So the 90's came and I could burn CDs. I transferred the Bolin show to wave, then did a few modifications with cool edit but I forget which, I think I normalized it is about all. I also spliced the cassette flip during "Marching Powder" so well I can't remember where I did it! I then sent a copy of the show to a person I met over the web that sent it to the Bolin Archives. The Bolin Archives then messed with it some more and published my recording!! (They even gave me credit on the sleeve because the person I traded with gave them my name). I noticed it on their web page and emailed them. They then said they had tried to contact me but I had switched internet providers and moved. They asked if it was ok to use it and I said "sure".

Notes:
Here are some tracks which I´ve collected over the years. Some pretty cool demos in the beginning, but the main part are the home recordings. It´s just Tommy and a guitar from 11-22, and at times it really feels like he´s just sitting right next to you, doodling on. Some of the song structures are easily recognizable, and I have added titles where applicable even though they don´t always sound exactly like they would when recorded with bands.
