Cadillac Man Unlocks an Incredible Treasure Trove

There are so many CDs I have recorded it seems I have forgotten many of them and Cadillac Man said last night he has just many.  He said he has maybe all of them and he started rattling off what he's got.  I was listening, kind of stunned, thinking, man, people actually kept these.

As he described them, there were multiple I did not even realize existed and it came to about six which were a complete mystery.  Here's the beauty part since he said he can easily duplicate the CDs and send them here.  Here's the ultra beauty part as he said he has a CD of the Mystery Lady singing and that means master quality.  I definitely do not have that as a whole lot of stuff got destroyed during a computer disaster in Rhode Island.  It's funny how it went down but I'll describe that another time.  In the meantime, visualize a whole lot of expensive equipment hitting the floor.

Thank you, Cadillac Man.  It's a special thing and deeply appreciated.  This was like the National Treasure series of movie but we're not looking for money so much as music and he found a LOT of it.


Here's the super question:  was "Rebel Yell" on that disc because the Mystery Lady blew that song out of the world and I'm so hoping I was clever enough to record it.  This was such a gas as she was jumping up and down and just ripping right into it.  Sometimes she would be slapping the beat against the mike with her hand and I'm saying, no, no, no, please don't do that.  The machine records it.

Whoa, that probably means it was recorded.  OK, probability sits at 50/50 and that's a fine place to leave it because ...

because ...

all together now ... we all love surprises and this is a great one.


Don't be getting impatient as stuff happens when it will.  The most important thing to know is it exists.

Good News! Your wish has been answered. The CD is titled Valentine Garage Session. It is dated 2/14/1993! As you suspected the quality of the sound is not great but definitely listenable. The Rebel Yell song is on the CD and the Mystery Lady does rock. I made 2 CD copies and also have the songs in MP3. There are a total of 6 songs. Let me know if you would like me to email the MP3 version of the Rebel Yell song to you. I working on getting copies of the others we discussed. UH!

Man, you're a blazing ray of sunshine. I haven't heard her sing that song in probably twenty years. You're beautiful, bro. Thank you!

Anything you can send will be deeply-appreciated and, yes, please, emailing the MP3 would be grand!
