In April 1975 the collection of musicians named "Airborn" recorded a few songs in Gilfoy Studios. These included four songs composed by Craig Palmer and one by me.
Airborn was the final incarnation of the group called Meatlocker, after Greg Alper moved on to bigger and better things (I'm still a big fan of his playing!). In April 1975 Craig Palmer got us time at Gilfoy Studio to record five tunes. I believe this studio time was in compensation for work he had done for the studio, and to fulfill a class requirement.
Personnel:
Robert Austin-drums
David Clark-lead vocal on Downtown Express Yourself, backing vocals
Steve Johnson-electric bass
Craig Palmer-saxophones, vocals, percussion, etc.
Dean Athans-electric guitar
All five tunes were recorded in less than four hours, with some additional tracks added after the session. The ensemble played "live" in the same studio room, and if my memory is accurate, we did only one or two takes of each song. The songs were all quite familiar to us, having played them in front of live audiences for months and years for a couple of them.
