Like many of us out there South Croyden started recording on a 4 track cassette recorder {well, even on boom boxes prior to that}. For many fun filled years in the mid and late 80s South Croyden wrote, scored, and recorded simple melodic tunes using the beloved if not completely outmoded cassette 4 track method. As paychecks would allow eventually digital home recording units replaced the analog method. Over the twenty two years that South Croyden has been recording and issuing limited pressings - I have been blessed by God to have friends who are infinitely more talented than I am - freely donate their time and appear as guest artists on my various projects. Previous albums have included appearances by :: Chris Williams, Jason Fuller, Fred Schubert, (more songs than I can recall counting on all my fingers and toes have been graced by good friends and National Music Camp Veterans ) Rod Alonzo, and Jason Crigler. Jason was kind enough to help with some engineering work at Suspects House of Metal (in Brooklyn) during the recording of the 2003 Album -Paging Mr.Kringler- And very special thanks to Tom Barrons who has in later years assumed the full role of Engineer and played on so many tracks that my brain smokes even trying to comprehend the full extent of his time and input at Murphys Sonic Bone Yard. And to countless others whos names ~ wow, this really is like reading a transcript of the Oscars, I thank God for music everyday.
It was overcast and very, very foggy all day... reminded me much of London Town, actually. Kinda cool. The streets were oh so quiet, only heard one ambulance today so I'm guessing for the most part everyone behaved themselves, LOL. Glad your uncle got turkey, bless him! I hope you won't be Yumyumless at Christmas time though!
You seem to forget that i work for Whole Foods, Thanksgiving is a bloody nightmare serving customers and answering their questions, i spent a day on the shop floor and people were aasking me whether we had tinned oysters (what the hell is that about?!) or tinned sweet potato (we have fresh ones over there madam if you can be bothered to get off your arse and peel then cook them), i must have bagged about 30 turkeys and i was just on one till, stilll they seemed happy at teh end of it all......
Thank you for being such a wonderful friend! Thanks for all your support and caring! Just wanted to wish you a fantastic thanksgiving full of joy, connection with people you love, smiles and harmony! Its one of my favorite holidays and this year its my birthday as well! what a day!! Sending you the ocean of love & light, your friend, PolinaJ
