This song was the Pick of the Week on 2015.04.19. Here's the story:
( show )

This CD was made from the best of three sessions of improv jams done at Jon's house in 1995. They were obviously inspired by the incredible improv explosions done with Freebus in Voyager's Blizzard Oasis, hosepipe, and Voyager 94. These songs were all improvised on the spot, with no premeditation. Recorded with two mics to cassette tape.

Overview:
Started as Voyager in 1979. Briefly included Pete Downes as rhythm guitarist. Changed name to The Raid in 1981, and to Everything But Anchovies in 1986. Played about 85 gigs around Ithaca, NY and a few nearby towns between 1980-1989. Most were at The Nines (16), second-most at Oliver's (11), third-most at the Hidden Valley 4H camp (11), and fourth-most at T.J. Tuesday's (8). After the last gig, a live TV broadcast in November 1989, we didn't play again until 1991, when we got together for a reunion jam at Andy's new house (see Spreading More Jam). We did likewise at Jon's new house in 1993 for the first Voyager reunion, then in 1995 we started getting together for EBA improv sessions. This evolved into Killer Whirlpool by 1996.
