impossibly rare 70s private-press album with next to nothing in the way of coverage anywhere. totally gorgeous and utterly deserving of a thread. MS has one free song ("Ginger") while The Fader has another ("My Stove's On Fire"); Youtube also has a couple of videos.

my copy of the recent Mexican Summer reissue (it's available digitally too) showed up today and it is GREAT. reminds me of Todd Rundgren, No Other, and Pacific Ocean Blue in about fifty million places. thought it deserved a thread, and now here we are.

Never heard of the guy, but based on these influences you listed I checked out "Ginger." Not bad

my favorite song is "Show Me To The Window":

Damn it, every time a copy of Music and Dreams comes up on ebay I think, maybe this one will stay below $300.

Yeah love this album. I think "April Suzanne" is my favorite.

Who I have yet to listen to.

Oh, you really should listen to Linda Perhacs. Robert Lester Folsom is not on her level.
