Subject: RE: New Jerry Rasmussen CD: Back When I Was Young
That would be good, Stephen. Or, Still Jerry After All These Years would work. The songs and recordings do cover a long span of time. I wrote Winter To Spring in 1964, and the two recordings with Luke Faust go back to the early 60's. Hard to believe that that was 40 yers ago because it is so fresh in my mind. Drunkard's Last was written when I was hanging out at the Gaslight Cafe in Greenwich Village in 1962 or '63, and When I Get To Glory, in 200 1 or 2. Robert's Rooster was my most requested song for so many years that I finally got sick of singing it. Now, it's kinda fun to pull it off the shelf. I also play slide guitar on one track, mandola of a couple... no tracks where I play fiddle though, much to my disbelief, I used to play and perform, playing fiddle.
