These tunes were done in Oakland or Berkeley, California, roughly between 1984 and 87. All of these tunes were written by and played on entirely by me, with the aid of a drum machine or a drum record. I had graduated for the most part to a Tascam 80-8 ½-inch tape deck and had a Tascam mixing board with a few better keyboards (Fender Rhodes, synths) and some decent microphones. As can be deduced, these tunes were heavily influenced by the music at the time.
