| STEVE BARTLETT 1971 with glasses |
Steve told me a cool story lately....How ALL this all started way back in 1967. Steve was in high school, north of Seattle in Stanwood, Washington.
Now, he started playing guitar in 1960, when his dad, Morgan Bartlett Sr. surprised Steve in his third grade class, and sang a few songs and played his wonderful magic guitar. I know 'THE OLD MAN OF THE MOUNTAIN' was always a favorite song, and today Morgan's grand children and great grand children love it too.
Steve said ,'he was a 'nerd', and bored in school'. When he and two school friends decided to begin a band one day, to rent a hall, have a concert and make lotsa money. 'We had NO fear' says Steve....OK,...Cool.
They began by deciding who would play what instrument...Steve got to play the guitar. The two friends were also brothers, last name was 'LUDWICK', Roger and his brother. One brother got to play the drums and the other the bass.
OK...They practiced for about 'two weeks', charged at the door, had their concert. It was great fun, lotsa couples dancing AND, the boys each made 'about $7.00'. Must have been a BIG amount of money way back in 1967. That was their only performance. Steve moved back to Edmonds soon after the concert to live with his mom...known as Betty or Elisabeth Perkins-Bartlett.
Steve did not began playing the bass until 'round 1970.
Steve was one of the original members of the band 'GOOD BLESSING' in 1971, Seattle, WA. Presented by Heidelberg and KING RADIO.

Found on YOUTUBE...CAB CALLOWAY 1933..."The Old Man of The Mountain" is non-stop Cab from beginning to end. He appears first as an owl, singing the title song. The words have been changed for the cartoon, in which the Old Man is a villain. In the original song, the Old Man is a benevolent character. Next we see Cab as the Old Man himself, rotoscoped and singing, "You Gotta Hi-De-Hi," followed by "The Scat Song."
