What a pair, these two... ;) At one place in this page's
notes, & in the interview w/Jorma I'll post below, both
say this was recorded in Jorma's Mom's house/his
childhood home, but elsewhere in these notes it says it
was done at Bill Graham's office -- but who cares, right?
lol Point being that even in this fairly primitive
recording, done on an old Sony TC-100 tape recorder, the
sheer power of her born-to-the-blues, utterly-unique
voice defies the low technology & leaves it in the
dust... ;->
Will never forget the time I ran to my dear Mom with my
old transistor radio in my hand, ten years old, to share
with her this most incredible female voice I'd ever
heard... ;) Mom was a singer herself, but only of
hymns... ;) She whirled around at me, eyes bugging out in
horror, her mouth gaping, and said, "THAT's not singing!
That's SCREAMING! Turn that off right now!" ;D ;D ;D
Bless her precious heart.

Subject: Jorma Kaukonen on Janis & Recording the "Typewriter Tape" |

Intro to the interview with Jorma:
"Of the many Janis Joplin bootlegs out there in the wild,
there's one that holds a special importance for diehard
fans. The Typewriter Tape, recorded in 1964 with
guitarist Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna),
captures an early Joplin at a pivotal moment, just after
her folk-autoharp phase and just before joining Big
Brother & the Holding Company.
The Typewriter Tape would go on to attain mythic status,
and, as is the norm for bootlegs, the details of its
existence have been distorted over the years. In advance
of PBS' broadcast of the documentary Janis: Little Girl
Blue, I decided to go to the source: Jorma Kaukonen
himself, who spoke to me from his ranch in Ohio about
that day in 1964, when his wife was typing a letter in
the background and he casually recorded some favorite
folk-blues songs with an unknown girl from Texas.
