About Me

Phred Rainey: Acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, vox, my granny's organ on "Last Night The Stars Fell All Apart." {THREE TRACKS ON THIS PAGE WERE RECORDED WITH ANCIENT TECHNOLOGIES: CASSETTE 4-TRACK, NO FANCY-PANTS "POWER TOOLS" , or whatever.... all by my lonesome fireman-self. Dec. '06-Feb. '07}_ {"New" Track: Orange Kid: GIVE IT A FEW SECONDS: MP3 from vinyl 7"- you can hear the needle hit the WAX! recorded in 1992. THIS ONE is actually a semi-formal studio track, recorded and engineered by the Dynamic George Wade of Not Shakespeare- where ARE you, my man? Adam Caperton: Drums, Jeff Chown: Bass}___________ I am currently unadorned and unattached. Looking for posse. MyGen Profile Generator
