the urge- linda bailey- silverheels

i left louisiana in 1984 and went back to little rock to work with some old friends who were forming a 'new' 'super-group'; but, they were doing 90% cover material, and i wasn't very into it. [although we did some recordings of my original music in nashville]

we wound up backing vocalist linda bailey, and playing in nashville, las vegas and elsewhere. due to disputes, the group folded, and linda and i went on with a local band 'silverheels' backing us, until bad health prevented her performing. i hung on w/the band a while, but eventually bailed.

while in little rock, i met guitarist, tim blunk*; we were absolutely on the same musical wave length. we were both funk freaks [loved james brown, prince, the time, pfunk, etc.] he came over and played guitar on all my home demo 4-track cassette 'song writer' tracks [which later ended up in my various repertoires and re-cut on several of my cds].. he always knew instinctively what was right! he was amazingly funky.
