Hi everyone, I have a confession....

In the early seventies, sometime when the US removed its tie of currency to gold, I was frustrated about what this could do to our economic system.  At this point, the dollar was near par, as it is now, in fact, just prior, the Canadian dollar was actually ABOVE the US dollar.

Anyway, frustration in mind, I did what any person could do - I protested,but in the only way I knew how.
I wrote a song.

Now, finally after YEARS of searching, and flipping through transcript after transcript of "The Midnight Special", I have finally found the episode where my song was performed live by my band and I.  I admit, I have done better work, but this was such a passion.  At the time, I didn't realize that I would become so involved in the collecting world...

So, anyway after contacting the copyright owners and paying a marginal fee for release, they agreed, and allowed it to go up on you tube. I don't know how so I got my friend to do it.
Please enjoy, may this take you back to the way rock shows used to be. :)

Wow, dat brings back a lot of memories Huds mon. At least you made it into music history in dat sense. That is before me band made our single brief public appearance as (Laugh if you like) T. Wingleman and da FuzzyNuts, long before I discovered Gospel Reggae. From a fellow bass player, I take my hat off to you.  8)

Must be one of dose full-circle irony tings.

Fender Precision Bass we be jammin!

NEITHER.  Sleeping in the tourbus has easily saved me thousands of dollars though.

You really set yourself up this time, PD is T. Wingleman, looked cute in the wig and skirt for that ambiguous androgyny before the Boy George came on the scene. Couldn’t cash in controversy as the she-male lead with the Pat Benatar style (I am laughing) Ha ha ha!
You are better off brick searching.

Marylyn Manson and Nirvana my ear candy and ANY 9990999 will do fine.
