In the late 1960s and early 1970s a musician
friend called Michael Klein and I composed dozens of songs together
to express our growing awareness of humanity's responsibility
for the damage we were (and are) doing to our amazing planet.
We formed a band called EVERYONE
INVOLVED, made an album called EITHER/OR
and somehow rustled up enough cash to print 1000 copies. The
16 or so contributors got 60 copies each with "DON'T
PAY FOR THIS RECORD! IT IS FREE..."
printed on the label. So here, in the same spirit as our idealistic
younger selves, I offer visitors to my website EITHER/OR
still free as EVERYONE
INVOLVED
originally intended.
"A masterpiece
of Acid folk ... the
female vocals are especially haunting and evocative."
Al Wilson
