About my Bolin WLIR CD
Cleaning out the PC I found this draft that I sent to Sal Serio back in 2003.
Thought ya'll might find it interesting
---------------
Hello Sal,
I am absolutely tickled pink that I helped out. This is one of those weird sequences in life that almost never happened. I was looking through my old cassettes while discarding them and found the Bolin show. I came real close to pitching it but decided to listen instead. After the listen I decided to master it. I even made a black and white CD insert for it and sent it to my brothers and sisters since I was so proud of it. I used Cooledit 95 and probably just normalized it but after I did, it sounded much better and I was thrilled. Then I found the Bolin site and ordered a couple of CDs. Somehow I met Chris Hofer over email and we traded CDs. I also mastered some Glen Holly Studio tapes for him. Mostly I remember the "Day in the Life" guitar riff Tommy does on that one.
Funny that I could not be contacted, I still get the Tommy Bolin Archives newsletters here in Roswell, Georgia so somebody new where I went!
I am thrilled that you honored my contribution by acknowledging me, that is all I would have ask/hoped for. I hope any funds made from the sale can further help the promotion of Tommy's tunes.
BTW: I contacted the archives just before I pitched the original cassette (about 1997?) and asked them if they wanted it. I got a reply that basically said "That is a common show - no thanks"
Interesting how opportunities can be missed.
BTW, could you tell where I flipped the 90 minute tape? I was just marveling at the job I did while recording and while putting it on CD.
First, while I was recording it I was hosting a party and listening in my parents backyard. I had timed the start of the tape so I knew when to flip it. When the time got close that "i oo" just before the "goodnight was happening so I quickly flipped the tape.
Second, while putting it on CD I matched up the timing and lost one or two "i oo"s. Just listening to it now I could not tell that the splice ever happened!
Also, this was not live but a re-broadcast a few years later but still late 70's, at the latest before Spring 1981 when I move to Spokane.
I discovered Tommy when I picked up Teaser in a cut out record rack. I had no idea who Tommy Bolin was but it had Narada Micheal Walden, David Sanborn and a cool cover. I was into fusion jazz because of my brother and knew Micheal was an awesome drummer. When I listened to it I was awestruck and turned my brother and a bunch of others onto it. I used to listen to WLIR because they put quite a few live shows on the radio, especially on Labor day and Memorial Day. When they announced they had a Tommy show I marked the calendar and made sure I was home to capture it on tape. If I had learned of Tommy sooner I could have made the trip across Long Island sound and seen the show - I was a Junior in High School.
It brings back memories.
Have a wonderful day!

This Tommy Bolin show is the only original music I have to contribute to the community.
I lived in Stamford CT in the 70s and owned a Kenwood receiver and a Marantz tape cassette tape deck. WLIR sent live shows across the water from Long Island. I heard this show was going to be re-broadcast and set up the tape deck trying to get the levels perfect for the strength of radio signal. That day I was hosting a few friends in the back yard and was sending the show out the bedroom windows. I timed exactly when the 90 minute cassette started and made sure to watch the clock. Just before the TDK SA90 tape hit the 45 minute mark I quickly flipped it over. I kept the tape and played it a few times them stored it. When the 90's rolled around I bought Cool Edit 95 for making training programs, yes the program that once you bought it you would never have to pay for an upgrade again, until of course he asked for more money a few years later. Anyway I digress. So the 90's came and I could burn CDs. I transferred the Bolin show to wave, then did a few modifications with cool edit but I forget which, I think I normalized it is about all. I also spliced the cassette flip during "Marching Powder" so well I can't remember where I did it! I then sent a copy of the show to a person I met over the web that sent it to the Bolin Archives. The Bolin Archives then messed with it some more and published my recording!! (They even gave me credit on the sleeve because the person I traded with gave them my name). I noticed it on their web page and emailed them. They then said they had tried to contact me but I had switched internet providers and moved. They asked if it was ok to use it and I said "sure".

Special Thank you for EDGE
Keeping this historical document available to those who seek is important work.
Tommy's art is underappreciated by the greater world of music enthusiasts.
That you are serving up this, one of his finest efforts, is truly appreciated by the taper himself.
