Beautiful upload by curators of cool, Crilley & Cooke. About this time Garrett cut Scotia's very own white album. Love And Soul. Recorded with Damian Moynihan on drums & Mike Farrington, Jr, on Fender bass, equals the best ever Scotia vinyl. In any genre. As for the live presentation? Well, here from Harvest 2010 we got maybe a good phone clip - & it sounds like a mix, to me! Funny. Sullivan's Monterey lounge in Halifax had the same high stage & low ceiling that you see here - and the 1973 Dutchy band playing in Sullivan's sounded this good. Paced it off the other day, & come to find out, Sullivan's was only 40 feet long and 16 wide (the space was the Gulf Building basement, current tenant is a martial arts instructor, & it's due for demolition.) The province's first, nearest thing to Love And Soul must be the LP Dutch Mason Trio, Live At The Candlelight Lounge. Unless you count back through Pepper Tree, & the Beavers, back to Screamin' Jay Paris fronting The Novatones - working out of Garrett's hometown Truro they had a single in or before 1958. (Can't confirm relationship of Screamin' Jay to drummer George Paris - yet.) For posterity: it was a Herald typo which in 2006 led folks to believe tapes made at the Candlelight (1 door east of what is now Timmie's on Spring Garden) Rd.) were used for the LP - we long knew Jack Hutchinson of CFDR recorded it in a Dartmouth school on Victoria Road; the lounge & its hippy audience had been far too noisy. (But to paraphrase Richard Pryor, hey, acid wasn't going to drop itself.) Jack made sure we who came later to CFDR cherished that RCA Model 77 ribbon mic (Grand Ole Opry type) that Dutchy & band had used that day. Jack recalled it as a Saturday afternoon with 2 flats of beer, these likely purchased by CFDR owner Arnie Patterson. . .. Arnie was an actual liberal Liberal - he sent Alan Stockall to get the only Halifax interview with Black Panther founder Stokely Carmichael, when no other media would touch him, 17 October 68. Carmichael you have to think was followed by agents all the way here; Fred Hampton & Mark Clark were assassinated - no other word for it - a month later back in Chicago. These anecdotes in memory of blues & jazz players now gone from this scene - Messrs. Charlie Phillips, Danny Sutherland, David Hellyer, Rick Jeffery, Dutch Mason, Enver Sampson,. Skip Beckwith,, Jim Faraday, Speed Goree and Charles Bucky Adams...
