It’s amazing that wikipedia still notes the biggest band ever to come from Wisconsin as the Violent Femmes.
In October Many years back on a warm day I drove in my white convertible with my top down from Appleton Wisconsin to a Milwaukee recording studio with my husband Tim Dorsey.
When we arrived I was sucked into the waitin room by cosmic energy from Talkin Heads guitar player, I sat next to him while he practiced for his session. His hair was black and pointed. I melted in the the couch and could feel my body slide nearer to him. I grabbed a few pillows and scrunched up trying to not to creep down too close.
I could hear echoes escaping from opening studio doors . My eyes followed bare feet on the wood floors, I looked up and it was the Violent Femmes rushin to get dressed in their costumes to perform at an annual Halloween festival. I loved their spooky attire.
I needed some air, So I invited Talking Heads guitar player to take a break with me . We hopped into my convertible to get cigs and drinks. For just a moment I realized I was becoming a part of music magic.
When We got back I opened a studio door to join my husbands party were they were cooken up a spicy tune. Tim was recording vocals for a project with Darrell Stuermer from Milwaukee who was Phil Collins Guitar player from Genesis.
I will never forget that dreamy day hangin on a couch with the Talking Heads and meeting the Violent Femmes. Years have past but I remember Tim always enjoyed performing and recording with Darrell Stuermer and his musician friends. Music is a force that pushes us back and forth to each other so we can create good vibes for the people on the earth .
