New Years 2021. Bye Bye 2020

Watch That Pain Again

We recorded this at Duquesne University, they had recently added a sound design major. We were Brian Cobb's class project. The songs came out well, and were the backbone of the Something Invincible release.

Magnet of Bad Luck

This is a song that never made too many releases. We recorded this when Jeff Flaherty was in the band on guitar, and Toby Houser on bass. It was done at the Granati Brothers Studio in Coraopolis, Pa. The Granati's are a musical dynasty dating back several generations. They toured with various famous rock bands, and working there was a pleasure. The best compliment we ever had was when Dave Granati called us Lifers. As in we would play music until the end of our days.

Nobody Knows But I

This song features Toby Houser on Bass and Jeff Flaherty on guitar. We recorded this in the rehearsal space on a four track machine. It is one of the songs on our final release Something Invincible, which came out in 1995. It's short, fast and dense.

Problems With Electricity

This song was originally released on the Welfare Dub Cassette. It is the title track of the remastered EP on iTunes and Amazon under the band name Thin White Line. With the opening lines, "Love and emotion begone. History repeats itself if we wait to long..." it's as pertinent now as it was 20 years ago. Another great Robert Porter song.

The Welfare Dub

Superman and That Girl

This is from our last sessions at the basement studio in Hazelwood. This has Toby Houser on bass, and Jeff Flaherty on guitar. It is on the Something Invincible release. I always think that apart from the beautiful metaphors, there is also the hidden pain of Bob's ongoing fight with The cancer that came from his service in Vietnam. As I look back now, I wonder what we fought for, something I'm afraid I people 40 years from now will wonder about our actions today. Peace    
Released on the 7th anniversary of Robert Porter's Death

Watch That Pain

Before Thin White Line, I was in Kitsch with my brother Tony, Jeff Goldhammer and a few different drummers. This song was recorded before we splintered into other bands. Jeff wrote it and taught Tony the bass part. I joined in later. I'm posting it to honer my brother who passed away on December 5, 2019. Peace

Tin White Line Live and in their prime. No performance was ever perfect, that was the charm. But the power and the pleasure of the music is it's own rewards.

Take Me to the River

Our best produced video was to this song. Live it was usually a 15+ minute epic jam that kept people on the floor. Good Times.

Clap Track

This is our cover of Howling Wolf's Spoonful. It's also near the beginning of the band version with Toby Houser on bass. It's raw and live, full of guitar noise. A typical Thin White Line jam.

Live with Toby

Spoonfull

This features recordings from bands I've played in over the years. New material is in the future. Groups include Thin White Line, Eraserhead and Kitsch.
