Wirlwind - The Overlook

This video was taken from an outdoor party in August of 1988 in front of Robin's place on Salt Point Road near Sackets Harbor N.Y. (cool barn backdrop!!) courtesy of Larry Greene (Ate Trax Studios, Pulaski, N.Y.) and features original music by Wirlwind. The line-up for the party reunion of most of the original band consisted of Robin Davis on bass guitar and vocals, Sam DeFranco on lead guitar, Rick Bergeron on drums, Marc Chauvette on rhythm guitar and keyboards. The original keyboard player, Ronnie Wyeth, was not present but greatly missed on keyboards. Wayne Craig worked the sound desk that day. The sound was a bit dead from taping with the camera's mic, so I worked up a new quick master of the audio and linked it up to the video. As I recall, Robin came up with the original idea from a place in Watertown known as Thompson Park. Heavy partying took place there at a huge stone wall called "the overlook", hence the name of the tune. This was always one of my Wirlwind favorites. Thanks for the memories Larry, and a great tune Robin!!
