Halfway between the Delta and the Appalachians, the country folk somehow got hold of a few old Rock N' Roll records, put em in a pot with some road kill and ate it up. Wasn't so good for them but it put some hair on their chests and got them to sinning and cussing in the evening hours while maintaining a proper public image to their best abilities. They got to playing some Black Window Music, which did some time spinning around the atmosphere. Much later on, wind picked up and some yankee fellow got a ringing in his ears, picked up an old guitar from a trash can and set down to playing it and singing to it best he could. Some coastal lowlanders soon hit some notes along his side and figured they'd stick around as the band he'd been in bad need of for some time. They'd get to being known as Black Window Music. Nowadays they sound, well, a good bit like that old Black Window Music.
BLACK WINDOW MUSIC spawned amidst the hundreds of other acts recording albums for Portsmouth New Hampshire's RPM Challenge. It remained little more than a one-man recording project throughout the year 2007. In February 2008, in a merger with friends Annika Wisswaesser, Dan Blakeslee & Time Fife (order of appearance), Earnest Walter IVY and company had such fun that they were sure to play again and again and again.
