Ayman: acoustic guitar
Andy: electric guitar

Recorded 8 November 1986 in Brown Carpet Studios, Ithaca, NY, with two mics into a cassette deck.

This album holds some scraps of recordings made in Brown Carpet Studios during its brief existence in the late fall of 1986 into the first days of 1987. Brown Carpet Studio was that little apartment down in the back of a place on Stewart Avenue really close to the Chapter House, back in Ithaca, NY. This album has two Andy Band tunes, the heavily layered "I'll Give You Time" (based on "What is it you need?") and the long guitar improv "Clouds in front of the sunset". There are also two jams with Ayman, one jam with Tim, and one outtake from EBA's Brown Carpet Studio album ("Silence Dub").

Overview:
There are cassette tapes by "The Andy Band" dating back to 1979, when Andy was 14 years old, and he is still an avid recording musician. Sometimes The Andy Band is all about "hit record and go" improvisation, other times it's all about one-man-band multi-tracking in the studio. Since 2010, Andy has been playing some of these songs live near his new home in Vermont at open mics. He relishes the thrill of improvising with an audience, as well as singing three-part harmonies and playing bass with players there. But he also loves building up a song with layers and layers of Andys, singing and playing everything.
