I did my first recording. It was called The Champ.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Well the way I ended up with my own record is that I did this concert at Wesleyan University. It was just one night and we had no thought of making a record.
I recorded my first jazz record in the '70s.
I started performing at two or three on a tape recorder, one of those little flat recorders where you just push play and record.
I've been recording since 1993. It was a hobby for six of those years. In 1999, I decided to do it full time and take it seriously.
I made this record without a record label.
I have been recording for five decades now.
My first record I owned was by Les Paul.
I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought I'd have a record label.
I never record anything like a demo, I just go for it.
In 1980, I moved to Chicago, and I recorded demo tapes for my friends' bands, and in 1981, the first Big Black record - the first thing I did that was an actual record.
