Running gag as the late great Karstein who passed but a coupla years ago was one of the great tour bus raconteurs and collectors of audio cassettes of all time most imaginative pranks and surreptitious recordings. He had the whole collection of tour bus recordings by legend in his own mind drummer Buddy Rich's meltdowns chewing out his musicians for "playing clams"!!!! This Jose Murdoch intro was another of caffeinated Karstein & Cale (they had a Vo-De-Ville act on tour busses) riff on the drummers who run off with the teen age hearthrob crooner's girlfriend....Also similar riff of musicians who made some dough having tax problems a la Willie Nelson and needing to gig under assumed names............ Hear some of Karstein yerself from the audio archives of Leon Russell's THE CHURCH back in Tulsa, OK where they all came from on Tulsa Time: th-cam.com/video/lneOOkkXBOs/w-d-xo.html " JIMMY KARSTEIN, LEGENDERY DRUMMER, EXCLUSIVE "LEGENDS" INTERVIEW The Church Studio 13.1K subscribers 6,072 views Aug 25, 2020 #ericclapton #analog #recordingstudio An exclusive interview with legendary, Tulsa-native drummer Jimmy Karstein." "Presented by The Church Studio “Legends.” Artists: Jimmy Karstein is known for his work with J.J Cale, Buffalo Springfield, Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton, and more" "Edited By: Grassfire Creative Artists and Places Mentioned in this Interview: " Yet this gig that Cale's manager in Nashville Audie Ashworth put on a promotional VHS cassette tape to send for more road work when Cale wanted to go out and tour every few years, before Cale moved to Southern California, Christine might've had a place of her own then in No. Hollywood for her & Cale & Karstein's various session work when Cale lived in an airstream trailer out in the Mojave without even a phone (that's how serious he was about session work, NO PHONE!). Well, Cale said he could test pilot music tech entrepreneur Roger Linn's new designs for drum machine microprocessor chips and programs and rigs. Cale and Christine often with Jimmie Karstein on wild percussion would be out playing the most colorful dive bars up the Pacific Coast playing lumber camps on up through British Columbia with this kinda small rig we see hear in this clip from So Cal's THE GOLDEN BEAR. They also lit up another So Cal beach town muses joint called THE BELLY UP and I was living up in Berkeley finishing up my undergrad studies and starting to look for alt journalism opportunities which have all since dried up in terms of livelihood, so this is where the ROLLING FOLK & JAZZ & BLUES ROOTS LORE all rolled on to. That is the real "Reality" as Cale cut it studio-wise over the 8 years he didn't cut a record after #8 until he signed with Euro monopoly SilverTone label on PolyGram that bought up Cale's whole recorded catalogue for Leon's & Denny Cordell's Shelter Records to protect what the players wanted to record rather than the bid-net. Love hearing Cale work the aerodynamic industry of So Cal's NASA labs carbon fiber used by Ovation guitars to such wondrous electro-acoustic guitar sound and effects and finger pliability. Heavenly what that combo could do (especially when joined by the lone horn of Steve Douglas, Z"L Rest In Play and Muscle Shoals to Memphis session greats like Spooner Oldham letting Christine get bacl from organ on the road to her rhythm guitar and vocal harmonies (she also wrote or co-wrote some of Cale's best recorded works like #8's truly recorded scriptures with "Money Talks (It'll Tell You A Story....). Look up Christine Lakeland's web site cuz the stuff she wrote, recorded and still hopefully gigs on the road with her band The Code (that Cale used to go out and play as guitar in that band with so few photos of him on his records up to that point that nobody ever noticed who this young unknown woman band-leader's guitarist and drummers were...) ...Lemme tell you Christine Lakeland & The Code's recordings and road gig tapes like Cale's entire non-released studio rat's output will be the HIGH AURAL ARTS that will live forever.......! In this hardscrabble life folks are always gonna need this kinda comfort food for the ears on down to our tinglin' spines through our soles to our Souls................For the high water mark of what has been released try listening from first note to last the entire in sequence SilverTone\PolyGram first release after #8, namely Travel-Log en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel-Log Ciao, Health and balance Keep on doing!

​@@ulpanavery interesting and detailed info! You seem to know a lot about JJ and his relationship. . . I read in one German article, that JJ Cale had two children. Perhaps they were from his previous marriage? It's interesting, because no other articles ever mention that. He also said, after being asked about whether they like his music "I prefer them not to be involved, they never ask".

@@bsnf-5 Thank you for appreciating my comment. It is from decades old memory when as I noted I was an undergrad or just finished at U.C.-Berkeley and was writing for the alternative press and a Baltimore-based international roots music magazine called DIRTY LINEN MAGAZINE OF WORLD MUSIC & CULTURE. I reviewed gigs and recordings, films, plays, books and commented on media back then, never finding a salaried livelihood. Hope my recollections about Cale's innovative work as well as his commitment to personal, intimate roots recordings using the proper gear for such output is accurate. I welcome corrections to the public record. Back then I spent a year or two booking Christine Lakeland & The Code's gigs when she worked out from under her husband Cale's name on the marquis. Cale would sometimes pay for a tour bus instead of a touring van that Christine's band shared driving duties in. They would invite me to come along and that is how I gleaned such delightful memories of these refreshing and good-humored traveling souls. I do not recall ever hearing anyone ever mention anything about Cale having kids, with Christine or that he was married before Christine. He was a private man through most of his public life, only opening up about his youth as he aged in the occasional documentary like the film TO TULSA AND BACK which may be more about Tulsa and the circle of players he hung around and gigged with right up until the end of his life, rather than being a film about Cale. However, in that film he shows us the house he grew up in and another Tulsa house he made some early recordings in before he set off for Nashville. If I did know anything about Cale's private life that he did not discuss on his long and publicly posted career of radio interviews and small indie magazine feature stories that sourced him, I would respect John's privacy. But everything I mention is stuff Cale himself loved to talk about. I don't recall even on the tour bus he discussed family members beyond Christine, as all of his muses were his music-playing and recording arts friends who made up his very closely held warm familial ties to. Except for Jim Karstein with whom I corresponded long after touring with Christine's band that had Cale as the guitarist working under another name, and Karstein and I just continued swapping info on the very funny tapes made of prank phone calls that circulate on tour busses and now online, we loved cracking each other up, I really never heard from Christine to this day since then and I only heard from Cale once when I reached out to try and publish an interview with him for one of the alt presses or magazines I freelanced for. Keep on listening, doing and writing Ad-Ac.

WOW... Thanks for the tip. I used to keep eye open to see if the full performance was back on TH-cam, but I got discouraged and distracted and hadn't checked for a while I knew it was just matter of time and patience :)

No it's Jimmy Karstein. He's a Tulsan and played with JJ quite a bit.

@@travissmith9451 Thank you for clearing that up! I know of Jimmy Karstein and his work with JJ Cale on records - interesting to know about live performances also.
