1966-1981 | Huge Anthology from 1966-1981: Lots of stuff here, mostly in rough, unpolished sersions. My favorites are listed in the sections, divided into periods. None of these were intended for broadcast, but they are the only records of my older songs, which date from late elementary school. The war in Vietnam was in full bloom. Many of these are various out takes, with starts and stops, also sound drop outs due to damage to the tape, or--in the case of one song (Portraits of Love, Py5)--deliberate playing around with the left-right balance for some silly reason.
