Has anyone ever heard any Mudcrutch songs? I've seen pictures of 45's, so I know they exist. How can I hear these songs?

You can hear a few songs on the Playback boxset. There are also a couple bootlegs of Mudcrutch shows floating around and I occasionally see Mudcrutch 45s up for auction on eBay.
Good luck!  Valerie "Oh, I await the day / good fortune comes our way" |

If I'm not mistaken, I beleive "Don't Do Me Like That" started out as a Mudcrutch song.

Mudcrutch, did they play at any Gainesville clubs?
Wondering if they played as a house band somewhere back in the 60's. Second or third bill to Yardbirds, Youngbloods, Buffalo Springfield, The Fugs??? "Many things will come and go in this life, but rock'n roll will never let you down”.........Tom Petty |

They played in some Gainesville clubs while they were here. Dubbs, The Rat, and a couple of others. Appearantly Dubbs had a lot of bands that came through here.
ohhh, People, People, People! |

I remember Mudcrutch playing around Gainesville a lot of different places, maybe some university or dorm or frat dances . . . I also remember a band named something like Styrofoam Soul.
I remember Bob Seger playing Dubs between careers and Steve Martin playing, probably down at the Brown Derby on South 13th, he was still playing banjo and maybe still had a beard. There was a guy Gove Scrivenor who played the Brown Derby, too. I remember Gary Stewart of "She's Actin Single, I'm Drinkin Doubles" playing at a bar on University not very far from 13th. I forget what it was called. Mudcrutch played for the opening of the museum, which looks a little bit like an Aztec temple, just north of Bartram Hall. It was free, some friends and I, we sat on the roofs and there was magic in the air. It was good. You maybe have to see it to picture it. http://www.williammorganarchitects.com/images/works/fsm1.jpg I don't know if they still do it, but they used to have free concerts at the University in the early 70s, people like John Hartford with Vassar Clements, Leon Redbone, Jimmy Buffet, Return to Forever. There were also speakers who came, like Cesar Chavez, Aby Hoffman, Jerry Rubin . . . I was there during the Haiphong Harbor events and got hurt when the stampede later happened . . . There were paid concerts, like I remember the Bob Dylan Rolling Thunder Review with Joan Baez, T-Bone Burnett and Bobby Neuwirth, maybe McGuinn, my memory is fading on it . . . it began with T-Bone Burnett doing "Let It All Hang Out", made Galileo look like a boy scout . . . And I once had a case in front of Judge Tench, Benmont Tench's dad. There were also a number of regional things in Florida, like you used to be able to see the Allman Brothers for $2 at Captain Alex down in Riviera Beach, there were Miami things like Wayne Cochran sort of a white James Brown, the Birdwatchers ["I'm Gonna Love You Anyway" and "Girl I Got News for You", there were the Nightcrawlers or Nitecrawlers who did Little Black Egg, a lot of people cut their teeth on that, from around Daytona, I think the Royal Guardsmen who did "Snoopy versus the Red Baron" were from somewhere around there too. Around Gainesville there were a number of bluegrass things, Chubby Wise, one of the father's of bluegrass fiddle was from around Lake City north of Gainesville, and you had people like Red and Murphy, the Mildew Brothers and so on doing bluegrass related music. |

"Memories,
Like the corners of my mind Misty water-colored memories Of the way we were Scattered pictures, Of the smiles we left behind Smiles we gave to one another For the way we were" Sorry if I offend anyone with these lyrics, they just seemed right for some reason, lol. X - really cool post.

Just wondering, how did you come out in the case with Judge Tench and what do you remember about him?

Please excuse my delay in regard to Judge Tench . . . Judge Tench's name was Benjamin M. Tench . . . I don't know if he is still alive. I would say he looked a bit like Mark Twain. That is probably a pretty good way of picturing him in the absence of a photograph.
I remember him to be very much a gentleman but perhaps there was some nuance of him not having infinite patience. Quite frankly, for many people, patience can wear thin in a courtroom and judges sometimes start to assume that a case before them is exactly like hundreds they have heard before . . . which may not be so. I believe he had above average patience for that setting. I am going to recall him as caring, courteous, considerate and conscientious. Nothing that would contradict that comes to my personal recollection and I was interested in how he was in part due to the fact that I knew he was Benmont Tench's father and I had some natural curiosity. It was a child support modification case and I was one of the attorneys. I don't recall everything about the result, this was probably about 20 years ago, even though I remember my client very very well. I once heard a lawyer say "the judge must have done the right thing because both sides left unhappy" . . . I don't believe either side was ecstatic with the result. A lot of people don't realize this, but although the court system may be a lot fairer than brute strength etc. the answers to our problems don't always come from lawyers or judges . . . maybe half the time or more we maybe don't even really know what our problems really are. Anyways, this was not one of those situations for me personally like Wynonie Harris's "Good Morning Judge" or Frankie Ford's "Alimony." If you want humor or drama about appearing before a judge, go listen to those songs . . . they are both great. The latter is about a monkey arrested on non-support who has for his attorney Mr. Billy Goat . . . much better than any anecdote I myself can provide . . . |
