Thomas Matthew played drums, and Kenny Childers bass on Star 69 and Spashdown. This Star 69 was written a couple of years before REM's song Star 69.

Cathedral was recorded on a mini-moog in 1981 while I was in the Audio Program at Indiana University, and studied physics, electronics, music synthesis, and recording engineering.

Techno Surf  was recorded in 1980 using my Mustang Guitar, Mini-Moog, and some little drum machine I borrowed. I double tracked the guitar and ran straight in to the board.  I'm going to remix it a little when I can. This song evolved in to the Moto-X Theme.

Electro Space Rock project: London Fog Machine. Combining sitar, synths, guitars, beats, samples and ambient sounds to the mix.

 1986,

Austin Just after the Grammy's Spring 1986

Real Lo - Fi. I used the mics that came with the reel to reel I believe. To get the drum sound I used a practice drum head for snare sound, buckets, books on wood floor, and cardboard boxes for kick drum ( I tried several combinations and distance from the mic. I think the plastic bucket placed upside down on a the floor was best. ), and maracas and woodblocks sometimes. I borrowed a synth from a friend and it got lost when i moved. It was a prophet one I believe. And for the guitar amp, I used a little Radio shack 10$ mini amplifier with like a 1/4 watt and a 2 inch speaker plugged straight in and turned up all the way, with my new Mustang guitar. I recorded it on a Sony Reel to Reel and just purchased another as I've been carrying around tapes for years but couldn't play them until recently when I bought one on ebay. It was like a new found treasure for me and I hope you like them. I also figured out that with the right connectors, I could bounce things on the Reel to Reel so I could do layers of tracks.

 1985,

A collection of songs recorded in Austin Texas. more info soon...

Guitar Army was recorded in one take with no overdubs, with four different guitar players. I played the main riff heard throughout and I played the last solo on my 61 Les Paul Jr, and I had already written this groove and showed it to them. It was also a unique beat I came up for the groove. I was told to prepare songs that several guitarists could play on at the same time. Then we made it on the cover of the Austin American Statesman going against Stevie Ray Vaughn. He sat right behind me at the Grammy's and I told him that Jeff Beck won the award, as he was another nominee for the same category. This is pretty much the best recording session I ever had with pro players.

We did a thing at Ricky's Canteena a couple of years earlier, in Bloomington, called Guitar Army. We did like Link Wray songs with 4 guitar players playing together. We played Rumble and was awesome to hear all the guitars together like an orchestra. That was the idea we had so when the Trash, Twang people courted me, I had 4 ready to go songs and ideas ready to go at our first meeting. I think Wayne Kramer of the MC5 did something called Guitar Army, but I didn't use the title because of that and apologize for using the same name. I think Kirk Ross was part of the Guitar Army idea back then. I played with him and Jim Manion of WFHB, in the Riffomatics. We opened for Wayne Kramer of the MC5 at Bullwinkles in 1981. I have some Riffomatics tunes I can post but want to talk to Kirk and Jim first.

The Breakers and Shanghai Cobra were songs I wrote and did with Moto-X and were not just written for the Big Guitars record, but a few years earlier.

 1983,

The Santa Fe's, Dale Lawrence from the Gizmos, and Frankie Camaro, recording in Dale's kitchen on 10th St, east side of Indianapolis in 1983.

More songs and info to come ....

 1983,

Frankie Camaro with Dale Link on Drums. Ada Ohio 1983 (or 1982?). Rockabilly  Blues Set.

Dale was my older Brother's friend and his band played at my school in 1970-71. He let me play his drums before the show which was like a dream come true. My brother was their Roadie for a while and I remember he was at my Grade School off to the side of Dale on drums, handing him sticks as needed. Dale hit real hard and sticks would go flying all the time. He turned me on to Iggy Pop, (who visited our little Ohio Town), MC5 and the whole Detroit scene. We grew up there in Kenton Ohio, in the late 60's early 70's in Ohio listening to CKLW from Detroit at our municipal pool and everywhere on the radio. One of my favorites was Light My Fire in 1967 by the Doors. One of the best songs of all time in my opinion.

Dale and my brother visited the MC5 headquarters in 1970. Kick out the Jams became one of my favorite albums of all time and learned to play with that record, Exile on Main Street by the Stones, Cream, ZZ Top, BB King, Led Zeppelin, NY Dolls, Mott the Hoople, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, The Ramones, The Damned, The Sex Pistols as well as many others, and teach yourself Blues record with Freddie King and Eric Clapton tunes with tab. I also had a lot of really old guitar books like Nick Manaloff's guitar method and chord finder from the 1930's.

My favorite bands when I was in grade school before this were the Beatles, Stones and Monkees. I also grew up with a lot of my Dad's Cuban music. He was friends with many great Cuban Musicians like from the Buena Vista Social Club. And he was an organic gardner all his life as was our family's farm going back as far as anyone remembers. We never used pesticides and used compost.

So we got together for a set in Ada Ohio just after I finished IU. I was in to Rockabilly since the late 70's buying imports from England along with Punk records. I had discovered Link Wray and Dick Dale and they were my favorites at this time. I always had a thing for Hendrix and Page before that and still do.

Johnny Esad and the Drunken Stupors : Live at Bullwinkles (Second Story), Summer of 1981

NOTE: May 5, 2010   Uploaded new EQ, leveled,     256Kb  mp3

John Barge, Eric White, Mike Ost and Frankie Camaro, joining to write some kick ass riffs to play at Second Story the summer of 1981. We wrote the songs like in a day, haha no surprise. I wrote most of the guitar parts and really liked it because we had to keep it to the point. Now listening to it, I really think this is the best chord changes I had done at that point in my career. This was just after Mars Needs Women was over I hung out with John Barge and the boys that summer. I just started trying to blast out cool chord changes that were really bluesy/surf based.

I remember we wrote the songs at Eric's house. The lyrics were pretty funny and Eric and John wrote those mainly. I threw in a few ideas.

I recorded it on my trusty portable cassette recorder with built in compression. It's a little distorted but maybe that's good. The battery started running out and it speeds up at the end. Listen to the Hamsters and Cream Cheese. Oh and turn it up in between songs to hear the band and the audience. I think it's Lee Williams telling us it's time to get off. There wasn't a lot of people and that was when Second Story was still called Bullwinkles upstairs as well as down.

 1980,

QAX Pistols   Trance Dance    recorded live at Bullwinkles, Feb 1980
Second show ever at Bullwinkles. The first was in Jan 1980 with the Gizmos, I think.

We did mash-ups of surf and movie, tv themes. My first playing experience in Bloomington starting in 1979 at a street dance. Band included, Frankie Camaro, Jim Manion, Davy Medlock from the Gizmos, Neil Sharrow, Jim Stikeleather, Charles Frommer, Rick Hinson.

At our first shows we would start with the MC5 version of Ramblin Rose, from Kick out the Jams.

The Trance Dance was like a big open dance party with lights and sound effects kind of like a Rock Rave. Someone went crazy with some ambient effects during Riders on the Pipeline and our Wall of Sound.

 1976, Moto Music,

This was all recorded and played by Paul Jova (Frankie Camaro), between 1975 and 1978. My friend Don Gray played guitar on the last song. I was around 16 years old. These were recorded in Marion Indiana in my bedroom.

I had a beautiful white slingerland drum set with cowhide bass head and Zildjian cymbals. I also had a Danelectro guitar and a late 50's Fender tweed champ. What I would give to have those back and all my vintage gear lost over the years.

No one showed me this trick. I used 2 cassette decks and would record on to one and then play along with that recording, on to the next deck. I know others figured this out probably.

I never had any drum lessons until College. I had 1 or 2 guitar lessons at age 10. My mom taught me piano when I was 3 or 4. I taught myself from books, watching tv, experimenting, and I would learn a few things from other players too for which I am thankful also.

I'm going to do some further editing and release this on Vinyl or CD. I know I had more but recorded over or lost. My brother walks in on one song that was going to be epic.

Jova 66   - 1986 Reunion, Marion Indiana

•    Piano: Emilia Jova
•    Vocals, Wood Blocks: Dr Silvio Jova
•    Percussion: Paul Jova

My first band. We played in 1966 for dinner parties when we first moved to Kenton Ohio. My mom played piano, dad sang and played wood blocks, and I played bongos and sometimes piano ( I played Home on the Range as a duet ). My mom taught me and my sister on piano, although I switched to drums and guitar. She is a great Cuban pianist. My dad was a doctor and organic gardener/farmer. He knew some of the musicians from Buena Vista Social Club. They always talked about the huge dance parties they would have in Cuba. We still have my dad's Cuban music records.

So this was our 1986 reunion and I recorded it. Someone else played maracas on a song so those sound a little off haha, oh well.

It's a an honor for me to post these songs and I hope some of you enjoy them also. I heard these songs and more like them growing up. My mom also plays classical piano and listening to her giving lessons growing up had a positive affect on me.

A new collection I'm starting from old cassettes. The sounds of First and Grant.

Dead Clowns was recorded in 1989. John Barge rapped and Jova played drums and recorded.

Eloid stars as Dr Mesmero with John Barge, Ian Brewer and Jova.

Jova as One Man Banned from 1993. I played the drums and guitar at the same time for a while. I did several shows like that. I would play the guitar with a drumstick and hit the snare back and forth. Sometimes I use a slide. I still plan on doing this again when I can.

4th Stone recorded at First and Grant house in Bloomington circa 1990. I used a cheap little drum machine as you can tell and played fills on it. A little loud on those but I like the song and Hendrix/Jazzy wah wah pedal guitar.
