THE SALOON YEARS
"The Saloon Years" is a release featuring
a selection of songs recorded with various versions of my band between
1982 and 1994. All of the cuts on the album were recorded at The Saloon,
one of San Francisco's oldest nightspots. The Saloon traces its history
from the mid-19th-century days of the Barbary Coast, survived the '06 and
'89 quakes, and stands today as a North Beach landmark. The album features
my friends Peter Albin (bass [see above]), John Cipollina (guitar [see
above]), Spencer Dryden and David Getz (Drums [see above]), and guitarists
Bob Flurie (HooDoo Rhythm Devils) and Peter Walsh (Seatrain and the Commander Cody Band). The band was always billed as the Barry "the Fish" Melton Band, but in more recent years, I've come
to think of the band as Middle-Aged Men With Musical Instruments.
We had a big record release party at The Saloon, 1232 Grant St., San Francisco,
on July 25th and 26th, 1997. |
