Notes
  • Sue: GP $15k. JGB $7,000 guarantee plus $1500 for lights/sound. Feyline, signed by Cindy Fey. Contract dated 11/4/75. Various campus politics almost scuttled this, as they did on another campus, "the other CU", a month earlier (10/27/75 at Cornell)
  • "Funeral March Of A Marionette" will be familiar some as the theme song to the "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" TV show. "Lucky Old Sun" was previously labeled "unidentified-19751123-01 (Hopkins instrumental)", but Mark Mattson identified it for us. Thank you, Mark! See JGMF, Unidentified Nicky Hopkins Instrumentals.
