OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was my first John Prine recording. I got a ride to the show with my friends Dave and Brian, and for some reason (probably because of Dave) we got there late and the show had already started. Santa Cruz is about two and a half hours north of San Luis Obispo County, so we had a bit of a drive. I made my way onto the floor as best as I could but Prine had already played ‘Spanish Pipedream’ and was part of the way into ‘Six O:Clock News’ before I was able to start recording. There is some crowd noise on this recording but overall it’s not too bad. I just wish I would have been able to get the complete show recorded. I had never seen John Prine before and loved his music. He is such a gifted storyteller. I still remember thinking it was funny during ‘The Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness’ when John sang, ‘You come home late and you come home curly..’, the guy near me exclaimed ‘Curly!’. It’s on the tape. Too funny. I recorded John’s show about six months later at Cuesta College and got a little better recording. The Catalyst was a fun venue. It’s an old bowling alley that was converted to a club and the stage is very high. There is a balcony on each side which is where I would have rather been, but they fill up fast. This, I think, was my second Catalyst show, with the first being Dick Dale in January of ’95.
