Subject: RE: Under-rated performers.
There's a group of songwriters from the Lincoln Ave scene of the 1970's Marty Peifer,(prononuced Piefer), Harry Waller, Al Day, Mike Jordan, Sally Fingerette, Mick Scott, Buddy Mondlock, Fred Campbeau, Chuck Aulger, Tom Dundee, Betsy Redhed, Jody Alis, John Benischek, Jim Craig, Andrew Calhoun, Thom Bishop. All gifted. All completely different. Alas, there was a compilation LP, but not really reflective of the music. The Famous Potatoes(w/John Burns...son of Jethro Burns of 'Homer and Jethro) were contracted to provide musical support and ended up over powering more than a few tracks. Was not what I would describe as a 'communal effort'. The final product didn't reflect original intent at all. But, if you can locate recordings of these artists from the 70's WFMT-Chicago being the most likly source I'm sure you'll be impressed w/t array and sophistication of the talent(s).
