Dedicated to preserving the rich music heritage of the Mendocino Coast...
The Dirty Legs music was recorded by Rainbird (1954-2022) in 1977 & 78. 

I will be adding more music soon

Thanks to all the musicians who have allowed me to digitize the music and make this magical time travel possible for you to hear.

The music deserves to be heard and my work to make it available is a tribute to those musicians still living and the many who have passed on.
