Andy: vocals, guitars

Recorded on April 9, 1986 in Cranbury Road Studios, London, England. 

The first half of this contains some quiet, dreamy songs, the second half has some great tunes with lyrics and singing by Jessica. "jed-e-roo" was for her little brother's birthday, and is the only known recording of Andy playing harmonica. "robin and marion" is a stunningly catchy ditty with great pan-pipe playing by Andy. Paul sings and plays guitar on "the vision". Andy plays and sings everything else. Recorded with Paul's MT-44 4-track cassette deck.

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.
