A Message From The Crackerjack Band
Hi Fans of Nerissa & Katryna Nields and the Crackerjack Band,
We thought you'd like to hear about our earliest influences, so you'd be
reassured about our cred. Mine was Leo Sayer's "When I Need You," an edgy,
high energy love ballad in which he overdubbed his own voice not once not
twice but three times! I was nine and it was 1977. Katryna's, bought the
same day was "Southern Nights" by Glenn Campbell. We bought these 45s
from Drug Fair in McLean Virginia, right around the corner from the Alka
Seltzer and Hallmark cards. They cost $0.99 each, which is still the price
of a single if you go online to Apple.com and download something for your
iTunes program, which I do.
My first single was a song by the Jackson Five. I haven't been able to
remember the title for years. If there is a Jackson's song called
Entertainment, then that's it. I also had a Bay City Rollers 45 (Saturday
Night). I saw them on Wonderama and flipped out. —Dave Hower
First single I bought was Zeppelin's WholeLottaLove - it had a hole punched
through it (cut-out style) so it was 39 cents! Of course I had to crank the
record machine a few extra times 'cos it's the whole album version (no
edit!) - the middle section would scare me silly with the lights out
then...BAM.BAM! that guitar break would deliver me every time. (It would
also scare the pterodactyls away, too) —Paul Kochanski, bass player
extraordinaire
Dave Chalfant could not be reached for comment. But I know for a fact that
he was frightened by a song from Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced" and
experienced it as a stampede of giant ants.
