- last year
Edit 1a for headphones, January 2023. The 1968 album "The Family Of Apostolic" has been remastered and released on cd in 2016 (Future Days Recordings FDR 613). Check the album's site: https://lightintheattic.net/releases/2385-the-family-of-apostolic
I like this music a lot, so I decided it deserves a place on Youtube.
About The Family of Apostolic. John Townley, interviewed by Kurt Benbenek:
"It was a general set of what my then wife Gilma and my friends and I were playing with at the time, both musically and recordingwise.
We were just seeing what a brand-new expensive toy like the first-ever 12-track state-of-the-art studio could do, along with the complete set of all kinds of international instruments I invested in to go along with it.
I produced the album and am all over it, but you'll notice fiddler Jay Ungar (of later "Achoken Farewell") fame from the PBS Civil War series) and a lot of other incredible talent mixing and matching to see what came out...
"Apostolic" in the title of the album refers to the 12-track recording equipment of the studio. (There were twelve apostles.)
