"FLESH AND BLOOD
"


Well, this is the record that almost sunk the Blue Wave ship! We spent a lot of time writing the songs, making demos, etc. Greg (who was still our manager and label head) used to spiff me and Joe $15 each for every original tune we turned in that was accepted. Believe it or not, it was a strong incentive at the time!
We also spent a lot of time recording it at UCA, once again with Bill Scranton. It was recorded analog to 2” tape, and we spent our time recording and mixing. It was also an expensive package, artwork-wise. So I don’t think it ever made its money back. But it garnered great reviews (the late Brian Bourke called it “the best local record EVER”), and it turned out to be the final document of the band. Circumstances were about to change dramatically in my personal life, and except for a brief return to record “Swamp Water” and “Avenue Breakdown” with Backbone Slip (which was really The Doyle – Whiting Band under a different name), my tenure with Blue Wave and as a Syracuse resident would end until my return in 1993.
