about

In 1972 my brother Greg enrolled at the cool new college to attend, The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, so we moved Glass to Olympia and started a new phase of our career. One of the great things about TESC－beside the many forward-thinking teachers－was that they had brand new state-of-the-art facilities for artists and musicians. All students who came there to learn were presented with a host of resources.

Among them was an 8-track studio in the basement of one of the buildings, and several large lecture halls that were available for things like concerts or, as in our case, recordings. At the time Glass was looking for a way to record our "live performance" (no overdubs) in a venue with some nice recording gear. As fate would have it, attending the college at the same time was Wayne Barker, who all Glass fans will know had presided over Glass’s very first “official” demo recording in his home studio the year before. He was a sympathetic soul and a great guy, though Glass was his first “progressive rock band” project. He had soldiered on with us throughout an arduous all-night session doing that first recording, and everyone was extremely pleased with the results.

So when Greg contacted him to help us set up a new recording session at TESC, he was right on board with it. With his stalwart assistant Jim Rollins, we all headed over to Lecture Hall 1, and on November 16th, 1972 recorded the document you are about to listen to.

Of note is that this recording contains a couple of never-before-released Glass vocal songs, “Carry Me Home” and “You Keep Me Waiting” (about an ex-girlfriend who did exactly what she wanted to do, whenever she felt the urge!)

"Carry Me Home" also holds the distinction of being the only Glass song to contain lyrics written by both Greg and me. And yes, I know, my voice still sounds like I’m about 12 years old. . .

Enjoy this never-before-released set of recordings. And have a chuckle at how young we look in the enclosed pictures! We were 20, 19 and 18. . .

These songs were recorded as part of Greg's portfolio for college credit under faculty advisor Norman Durkee.
