My Last Chance

1982 Jim Price: violin Dave Peterson: guitar Marc Anderson: percussion Tim Weinhold: percussion Steve Tibbetts: guitar Randal Brown percussion Jim Price asked me to write and perform a song for “Night-times Variety,“ a show on the local PBS affiliate. Someone had the idea of hitting a gong and lower it into a tub of water to finish the tune. Lowering a gong into water lowers the pitch about a whole step. Very cool. Except we didn’t have a clear container for the water, so it looks like Randy is just lowering a gong into a trash basket. The audience applauds, but looks puzzled. (“Why are they lowering a gong into a white trash can?“) Please note both guitar players parted their hair in the middle.
