Pat Thrall help needed

    Hi there,

    I just got the LP NEW DAY by Pat Thrall's first band COOKIN' MAMA.

    However, it is the 1980 re-issue on Piccadilly records and the album sleeve gives me no information whatsoever on who is in the band.

    The 1972 release on Rock Bottom Records is a bit expensive for my taste ($ 80 - 120 on e-bay)

    CAN ANYBODY GIVE ME SOME MORE INFO ON 'COOKIN' MAMA'??

    Thank Y O U!

    Sherry Fox was also one of the members of the band, but I have yet to find the others. Maybe we can get these in drips and drabs :huh:

    Tommy Thompson was the keyboardist for Cookin' Mama. He also has played for Greg Allman's touring band, and is currently in a band called the Alameda All-Stars.

    Will ask a couple of friends of mine that know these guys about the rest of the members.

    Don't know it it's too late, but according to Lost-In-Tyme website, the line up of Cookin' Mama on this album was...

    Sherry Fox : vocals
    Paul Hann : saxophone, percussion, vocals
    Jesse Harms : piano, organ, congas, vocals
    Vince Palazzotto : drums, percussion
    Lou Sarrica : bass
    Kevin Smith : vocals, percussion
    Tom Thompson : guitar, organ, bass, percussion, vocals
    Pat Thrall : guitar, percussion, vocals
    Preston Thrall : percussion
    Paul Trousdale : saxophone, flute

    on somewhat of a different note, i remember working in my first record store between 1982 and 1989. i remember the hughes/thrall record comming out and i was trying to turn an older hippy friend of mine on to it, and he told me that the record had come out a few years earlier. i dont remember what year it was ( like glenn, i don't remember alot about the 80s either), but i think i was the manager, so it was probably mid 80s. did that record get released twice ? does this make any sense to anyone, or were the 80s as much of a foggy mystery as they seemed to be remembered as ? i remember that me and my buddy bet on it and i think that he won, although, on a matter of technicality, i believe i called it a draw.

    so, you're saying ONLY in 1982 then ? i need to go ask my hippy friend if he remembers, not too likely though, i dont think he remembers much of the 90s or 2000s either. i do remember though @ the record bar, we had it listed as a "no risk" title, meaning you could buy it and return it if you didn't like it and i don't think we did that as early as 1982, but once again the 80s were a foggy era.




    Thanks for the info--the Lost In Tyme site seems to be gone.

    Very cool. I've been looking for this one for a long time, and my search has brought me here. Can't wait to hear it. It's downloading now. (my virgin post.......please be gentle everyone...LOL)
