A rare "non-stealth" appearance, opening for the legendary Danny Kalb.  We're all excited about the new recording by Danny, Kooper, and Blumenfeld and if things stay on schedule, it will hopefully be available by showtime!

Here are a couple of video clips from the mid-90s performing on a syndicated folk music cable TV called "Horses Sing None of It", hosted by Ralph Litwin:

Way back in 1993, I and my former bass player, the illustrious J. Keith Thomson, were talking about recording. Shortly thereafter, I mentioned this prospect to my old buddy Jorma Kaukonen, for whom we were opening at the dearly departed Lone Star Cafe in NYC. His response was, and I quote, "I'll be deeply disappointed if you don't let me produce it!" Not being ones to leave a chance to have that much fun pass by the wayside, we rented a portable digital tape recorder and made the 10 hour drive to Jorma's farm in southeastern Ohio, where we proceeded to set up a makeshift studio in the dining room and spent a joyful week and a half recording every fart and sneeze, interspersed with hikes, cookouts, and the occasional recreational discharging of firearms. After we returned home, I also grabbed Danny Kalb (founder and lead guitarist of the legendary Blues Project), for a song...

The result of all this was the CD pictured above. It has a bunch of traditional tunes, a few covers, and a couple of modest efforts of our own.  It got  lots of airplay and great reviews, and most folks tell me it has a tasty flavor of the fun we had making it!  Click on the play buttons below to whet your appetite!
