about

Sticky sent Raph the cassette. Raph digitized the thing. If folklore has it right, Raph just didn't want to sit down on that sofa in the dressing room. And if there was ever a reason to call a dressing room a green room . . . the mold. The Swamps were so excited to be playing the promised land. Unfortunately, the band was told it owed $7 to the club after the gig when the accounting was done (lighting person and sound person fees). what a racket. And no, the band were not '80s cocaine snorters, but told there was a strict time limit, hence everything was played really fast.
