May 2004 - CASSETTE TAPE ARCHIVE

Daniel Johnston Cassette tape from about
1986 or 1987
CS0225b

To add a little balance to this month's posting,
this find has been pulled off of CS0225b.

SIDE B - first and last recordings on this side

Closer to the Truth

CS0006 side b and a

Side B is Daniel with his friend David Thornberry ABSOLUTELY goofing around - with a few worth while moments, including a never before heard rendition of "Tears Stupid Tears"

Side A is one of many cassettes Daniel kept running during congregational singing at church.   It is interesting to listen to them and catch glimpses of possible influences on Daniel's use of vocabulary and hopefulness.
