Geils band) and me many years ago.
We were doing an outdoor show in Georgia (Athens?) in the late 70s and I suggested that we put my boombox cassette player next to him on the mixing board and see what a tape made of the band's set sounded like after the show, becasue the record feature on the boombox had level adjustments.
Both Frank and I were amazed at how good the mix on the tape was (a testament to Frank's mixing skills). I was also amazed that the version of House Party on this tape was one of the most high-energy versions of it Geils ever played.
I cleaned up the original tape as best I could and here it is.
PS: There is a picture of the boombox that recorded this tape at the end of the video. I think it was an AIWA, but I'm not sure since it's been gone for years.
Strap in, put on a helmet, and enjoy the ride.Shag Raggeorge corneliussen2023-01-03 | Years ago, when I would get home from work late at night, sometimes I'd play my acoustic guitar in my bedroom to unwind.
I'd sometimes record what I did on a cassette boombox sitting on my dresser.
The audio on this video is one of the things I made up after work and recorded in one take on that boombox.

He moved to Philadelphia and recorded three singles for Atlantic Records, none of which charted. In Philadelphia he formed the group Cliff Nobles & Co., with bassist Benny Williams, guitarist Bobby Tucker, and drummer Robert Marshall. They were signed to Phil-L.A. of Soul Records.
Their second release for the record label was the single "Love Is All Right"/ "The Horse", which featured the horn section from what would later be known as MFSB. "The Horse" was simply an instrumental version of the A-side, and Nobles, who was the lead singer, does not actually play on the track at all. It caught fire at radio stations and became a hit, peaking at number 2 for three weeks on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1968, as well as number 2 on the R&B Singles chart. "The Horse" sold a million copies with the gold disc award from the R.I.A.A. made in August 1968. Nobles' record label continued releasing instrumental singles on which Nobles himself did not play a note. After his music career was over, Nobles worked in construction and later in the electricity generation industry.Switch It On Cliff Nobles & Co.

It has a hydraulic shaft that is operated by a lever mounted under the seat. It can be adjusted to many different height levels in seconds and is very sturdy. I find traditional drum stools never go high enough for me and since I have a lot of drums, every time I rearrange them I find myself monkeying with the seat adjustment. This stool works great for me. Now, I'll have to see if it stands up to heavy use.Blue Monday #8 : Face by Kitbash (1985)george corneliussen2016-04-28 | This video was shot with one camera using borrowed public access equipment in my living room in December of 1985.

The video was in response to store mangers' complaints that existing training videos weren't based on real-life situations I called the series, "Domino's Pizza : Customer Cam" The idea being that the videos would show how things are done the correct way and how they are done the wrong way in actual stores. I visited about 30 stores and just watched how they ran. In my video, I acted out each scene as I had seen things done correctly and how I had seen things done incorrectly. My idea was not to label the right ways and the wrong ways, but rather to let store personnel comment to each other as they watched the video. This tape is the demo for the series. After watching it, Domino's Pizza's upper management, at the time, respectfully rejected the idea on the grounds that it was "Too real". The off-camera voice on the video is former Domino's Pizza regional training director Phil Dreizen
