Mitch Rosenow and I met in the mid-70s era Lawrence music scene. He was in a band called No TV Motel that played Off The Wall Hall, where I played with The Barking Geckos. We eventually began recording together in his living room, using a 4 track cassette machine. (Those recordings have vanished.) In 1979 he played guitar and helped with backing vocals on the Thanks Mister Banks/Weather Girl sessions. When he lived in Manhattan, KS, I drove out to his place to record my new song, Here Comes Mister Upscale--maybe 1979/80? That recording is also gone. Mitch became a key member of The Geckos for a couple of Lawrence Opera House presentations in the early 80s.
     Our major work together is a series of recordings we did  between 1986-1996. This collection, titled Getoutayermind, is set to be completed this year—a mere 15-25 years after we recorded the material. Mitch has recently baked some of the masters and has been tweaking the mixes. You can listen to Here Comes Mister Upscale recorded with Mitch on my Greatest Misses collection on this site.
