D - Vices - Adequate 7"
$12.00
Great guitar sound. My guitar playing is passable but I was so insecure back then. I couldn't tune a guitar no matter play one. When I played bass with Keith Strange, Pierre Perron, our drummer, called me a 'poseur.' And there was certainly some truth to that. At the same time, I had chutzpah. I was also acutely aware of how limited I was. I was also interested in learning. So it wasn't all attitude.
In the end I had more in common with Keith than with the Devices. Both Keith and I work in an idiom. Keith has enormous respect for rock'n roll, country and blues.
To a large degree, what we hear is arbitrary. So much great music goes unheard for reasons that have nothing to do with talent. Chicago blues owes so much to Leonard Chess. Elvis owed so much to television. Like Luther owed to the Gutenberg press or the New Testament owed to the spread of literacy and Hellenization. Without radio Al Jolson would have been just another hammy act at the local theatre
