Java Jel going digital, gradually

Hey, I'm finally starting to go digital. I guess it's easier than copying tapes on my old cassette and hand-lettering all the labels. Anyway, I'm trying to get my new record, Javalicious out in digital formats before wrapping it up. Cover art is needed as well, naturally. The fun part -- making the music -- is pretty much done.

Anyway, Java Jel is moving toward the digital age whether he wants to or not. Here's a rehearsal that Denver area DJ Toby Houser posted a few days ago. It's a session I did with him back in 1988 or so when he played bass in the combo, Java Jel & Big Bambu. It featured JD Wood on drums -- (JD WHERE ARE YOU NOW?) and Lee Sled on keys. The tune, Start Something New is really groovey with super funky guitar and bass, and a long vocal break. Here's the link:
