Jimmy Zaleski - Dreams 1970
Approximately 1970 Guitar clip live, featuring myself on guitar and Bob Martin on Hammond B3. Bob Martin is best known as Frank Zappa's featured vocalist, in later years. I was approximately 20 years old. Recording was not professional, simply a couple of microphones placed in the audience. Guitar rig was a Black Panel Twin with the speakers disconnected, cranked through a 60's Marshall cabinet, a Clyde McCoy, and a 57 Gold Top, originally owned by Ricky Vito, a high school buddy. No other effects, or overdrive pedals were used ---- just the amp cranked all the way up, Bass 10, Treble 7, Mids 4, Reverb 3, worn tubes, bias out of whack and mismatch on ohms -- the PAF's obviously important, but the Clyde McCoy equally so, even when not used -- it's NOT true bypass. No rules applied.

WOW - my old friend Jimmy and my Favorite guitar solo of ALL time !!! THAT solo was maybe one of the first I actually tried as hard as possible to copy - IT WAS SO OUT ! Jimmy's signature stutter step takes me back.
Sure sounds like Jerry on bass - 360 ? Malcom on vocals ? PLayed opposite them in Somers Point with my buddy Dave Strong from my house in Ocean City. A true life time ago. thanks. Ever heard Jimmy play pedal steel ? Last edited by Strat; 11-12-2011 at 01:22 PM.

Top notch players to work with back then. The main singer was not the best but did a great job of 'selling' the band. Bob Martin did great on whatever vocals were not lost to oblivion. There are some other recordings of this band floating around I can post, if there is interest. Some are just OK, but some are magic -- a lot of both came out of boredom from gigging 5 or 6 nights a week for 3 years, and whatever got captured, is all that's left.

Strat -- I saw Jerry about a year ago. He's got a big wedding/horn band called 'Jelly-Roll' -- still gigging in the Philly area. I'm sure you know Bob Martin became Frank Zappa's featured vocalist, Jay is still in Richmond. I used to see Malcolm in Florida once a year, but haven't for a while - He had something to do with Bo Didley up in NYC, and I don't know if you remember Jose - but he's back in PR, still gigging.
