HOT GRITS

For those folks with great memories and even greater ears:  Some of the following music was recorded, engineered and mixed by Jerry Reed and Don Garvin at Jerree's Studio in New Brighton, PA. circa 1980. Some tunes were recorded live on a hand-held cassette recorder during a gig at King's Inn in New Brighton during the same period.

Easy to tell which is which - if you were there you will think it is worth the scratchy noise to go back to King's Inn on a Saturday night. If you were not there, you missed a good time and some incredible music - but you can give it a try now.

Don Garvin (guitar); Robert Peckman (vocals and bass); Brooks Whipple (keyboards); Roz Miller (vocals); Dale Miller (guitar); Deke Kincade (drums).
