recorded at the Bennington Center for the Arts, September 29, 2012
Tom tells the story of meeting Joni Mitchell in Detriot in the 60’s and first hearing the song that would become his signature, the evocative and sadly dreamy “Urge For Going.”
Joel's been interested in music and the process behind it since he was a small child, recording his favorite television theme songs with a small reel-to-reel tape recorder, taking piano lessons, and learning about the delights and limits of the whole universe of audio recording and playback equipment. He would ride his bicycle and dream of a portable cassette player, perhaps not much larger than the cassette itself. These days he does audio and video production in the Albany, New York area. Just exactly what you might have expected?
