BrainSurgeons R Us 

​

​

Way back in the very hot summer 1980 I was living in North Hollywood.  On Sunday afternoons my friend (and guitarist extraordinaire) Charlie Fechter would come over to hang out and goof around with music.

​

Musically, it was a puzzling time.  The 1970s record business was dying its preordained demographic death.

​

In the world of rock n roll there were a few new bright lights, foremost among them the Police.  The B52s were a fresh sound.  

​

These were the waters within which the BrainSurgeons emerged.

​

Eventually, our mutual friend Steve Sullivan would join us on electric piano and synthesizer.

​

I really liked the musical style that emerged.

​

A few of these tunes still have legs.
