In 1973, I moved into a house in Berkeley that was occupied by persons who had tried to start a rock band.  There was a drum set in the living room of 3005 Fulton Street, along with expensive instruments and amplifiers. For whatever reasons unknown to me, the group never materialized into a viable commercial musical presentation. Fortunately for me, the songwriter, Jim Cory, showed me some of his songs and gave me verbal permission to use his material at some future time. One of his songs, "Heart Hardly Knows" is now a completed recording that I produced  in 2012, some 40 years after acquiring the permission to record and release this work.

It is currently listed on iTunes under the album "Highways of Life" featuring RT Pappas.  The album is still in production and will eventually have 10 songs.

I wrote the last half of the last verse, played rhythm guitar and contracted for the musical personnel who performed on this take. When royalties come in from this song, I will create an account for monies to be set aside for JIm Cory and his family or benefactors.

In addition, I am currently producing an 11 song album of my own songs and that should be done before Spring of 2013.

It's great learning this business and I have started a family publishing company that hopefully, my children and descendants will continue.

Great cello player on this recording. He resides in San Luis Obispo.
