Yay! Glad you got my reply. I just touched base with Tina when I was in NM last week (she lives in Santa Fe)-so glad we are still friends. Most of my many sibs went to RCDS so I remember you, plus I remember your father’s longtime leadership at RCC where I (and , of course, Joe Q) ended up teaching. I don’t have too much of my music available online…I kinda dialed that back decades ago when I went full bore in the visual arts and teaching. In recent years I played with Michelle Solomon in an acoustic duo and I might be able to find some links to that. I really ought to convert some old Broken Toys (my old band) live video to digital and post. I am currently getting together with an old band and songwriting partner from my badass band days and we are doing an acoustic duo. The real cool thing recently was Tina doing a nationwide reunion tour (last year) with her all girl thrash metal band (Meanstreak-their oeuvre is definitely available on YouTube). Grab your earplugs-you have been warned…They were a juggernaut back in the late 80’s-90’s. Even decades later I am still scratching my head, associating her gentle Skunk Hollow roots with the sheer sonic onslaught but, hey, fucking girl power, baby!!
I’ll go look for some links to me singing/playing. Btw, I love your blog. I have become, in retiring from teaching, something of an angry local progressive Dem operative and your pov is refreshing and spot-on.
Pamela Hudson and Tina Campagna! The mystery of your background singers has been solved! We both went on to our own many splendors musical accomplishments of our own. This song was our first recording date ever, I think!! I was so thrilled when Tina sent me the link. I still knew all the words! And yes, We both went to RCDS!
I loved hearing this, oh the mighty 70s! On a sad note, speaking of long covid, AA, and such, Jeremy passed away in January. The final diagnosis was sepsis and organ failure. I was with him as his hospice nurse at his home for the last 6 weeks which was heartbreaking but I am so grateful that I could hold and help him. It is an agonizing time for me now but I have great support. Glad you are better, Peace and Love, Cindy Wells
Well, I’m sure glad that you’re doing better. You must be since you’re writing and recording again ,wish you a speedy recovery!
Thank you!

Hi!! I'm so glad you told me! And I remember you, so I don't know how I forgot! Nice to hear from you. Where can I hear your music?

Oh, Cindy, I’m so sorry to hear. I have such fond memories of him. Sending you much love and light. I’m glad the video brought some joy.
I very much enjoy the newsletter and I love The Zero Hour with Richard Eskow! Sorry to hear about the COVID, I hope it is gone soon, take good care!
Thank you!
