I have no idea why you're crediting Michael Jackson -- that song they're singing is "Soul Makossa"by Manu Dibango from 1972. Otherwise, this is very cool!

I used to have a copy of this record. Found it in a basket in an antique shop in Phoenix (unsleeved) for a DIME in 1981. Kept it for ten years and sold it to a Lawyer in Boston for more than $200. Wish I still had it, but a 2000% profit is still pretty good. (BTW, the flip side is better.)

Very nice! But they got my name wrong. It's TOM, not Tim.

Tom Tuerff

Wow. Just Wow.

There is nothing more obnoxious in public than a crying baby. Pick 'er up.

...and they never saw him again.

This looks like it was recorded near the end of Dave's life. I booked him for what turned out to be his second-to-last concert (in Phoenix, AZ). He was clearly not feeling well and looked a lot like that. Even wore that shirt!
