This was a task I took on some time ago in preparation
for the History Project.
It is not authoritative,
and not even particularly for public consumption.
Events and dates are drawn from my memory, filing cabinets,
correspondence, calendars,
daytimers and assorted collected artifacts.
There is no guarantee of accuracy.
It is my hope that an appropriate technology can be found and employed
that will allow participants in these
various events
to make their own submissions and additions in order to fill in gaps and
make corrections,
as
well as attaching personal reflections
and observations to particular events, posting
interesting and useful
details such as participant lists, photos and set lists.
Over time, we hope that a verifiable and definitive history will emerge.

The practical and economic realities of a
month-long tour of small low paying venues required that the size of the
performance team be reduced. For this leg there were 7 players, plus the
tour manager, road manager and soundman, traveling in 2 vans.
The four members of the performance team who
remained at Claymont during the third leg performed together a number of
times under the name "Ensemble of Crafty Guitarists" (ECG) |
