How did a band from Boston end on a French label?
If I remember correctly, my wife of French grandparents got a contact to Jacky Chalard, and we sent him a tape. Talking about France, you did a great show on national TV called Bop n Roll Party . Do you remember this one? The “Bop ‘n Roll Party” was shot in Jan, 1982 in Paris. I had been sick for several weeks, and was just getting over it when we left for Paris. My memory of the event is personally painful, because I lost much of my voice by the end of the soundcheck. So when I hear the audio, I can hear myself struggling more & more. But that’s just my perspective. It was fun other than that. Your first lp Bertha Lou was made of covers. You later proved to be a solid songwriter, so was it a wish of the label ? “Bertha Lou” on Big Beat was our first attempt to do an album. We produced it ourselves, and I expect we would have done better with a producer who knew what they were doing. We added the older tape of “Lindy Rock,” which was my first original. I had written a few more by that
