The Dirty Legs music was recorded by Rainbird (1954-2022) in 1977 & 78.
Thanks to all the musicians who have allowed me to digitize the music and make this magical time travel possible for you to hear.
Also, thanks to Nicholas Wilson who documented the music with his photos and recordings.
The art & music scene here on the Mendocino coast has always been rich with lots of very talented people making this special place home. It feels really good to make this great music available for people to listen to.
