Another rare find while unloading stuff after moving. We were competing in the "Battle of the Bands" at Louie's Rock City. We won our first round and should have won our second round. It's a great story. When I have the time, I'll write it down. Anyway, this was the one and only version of Mudlark that ever performed with a female lead vocalist. Karen Kurzeja, who could sing really well.

<begin small world pause> Since this flyer is from 1979, would you really think I could possibly remember how to spell Kurzeja (considering I never knew in the first place). I know how to spell it because, for the first time in 27 years, a mere two weeks after writing this web page, I heard from Karen via email! <end small world pause>.

Add Greg Smallwood on slide, Bob Crerie on guitar, Ron Shambaugh on bass and me on drums, and you have our version of an "audible orgasm"!

That would be Tuesday, May 8th, 1979. What a difference nearly 33 years makes. Now, I'm in bed and asleep by 10:00pm......

Ok, now to further the greatness of this rock and roll find, behold actual photos from this very evening:

That's Karen rocking out in front, with my face just beyond her right shoulder, and Greg Smallwood's coolness in evidence to the left.

 

Karen singin' it and Greg just being the coolest cat on earth.
