During the years 1981-89, Marin County record producer Tom Stern issued nine LPs under the banner of  "The Usual Suspects." The musicians involved, for the most part, were Marin-Sonoma types: Mike Bloomfield,  Nick Gravenites, Peter Rowan, Mark Naftalin, Norton Buffalo, Maria Muldaur, David Grisman, Pete Sears, Scott Mathews, Dan Hicks, Amos Garrett, Holly Near, and into the great beyond. They were all there, with occasional guests like Taj Mahal, Oscar Brown Jr., Lady Bianca, Dr. John, many others. Stern studio-recorded them beautifully, live, on a haphazard schedule. Musicians chose their material,  worked things out, had a ball - and Stern issued seven hours of classic Bay Area music on nine mail-order "Suspex" LPs, all now long out of print. I have the first 4 volumes here as one auction item. The artists on these albums are in and out of each others pockets, with each musician contributing to the whole. So i am doing them an injustice by just giving you the principle vocalist but i would rather give you this 4 line apology than write out a complete who's playing what. Intrumental tracks are just going to be listed as various, You should be able to see from the top paragraph the class of performers involved.

I have been buying on eBay now for many years and have over a thousand positive feedbacks. These are the first of very many items that i now want to sell. There is a reason why i have opened a new account with eBay to sell rather than use my existing account. I have in the last 6 months or so returned to my Christian belief. I want to follow what is scriptual in disposing of what, quite honestly, has been a bit of a millstone around my neck. One day i looked around at all the many thousand items that filled two rooms and came to a dawning realisation that i had no idea what 90% of all this stuff was. I mean, i could go and buy something, play it once, log it, and that was the last i ever saw of it. So, this has handed me a golden opportunity to turn around this situation into something positive. I'm not going to 'Bible bash' or 'rant and rave', I simply want you to understand my reasoning. With this in mind, i will leave it up to you to look up 2 sets of verses, if you want to. Matthew chapter 6 verses 1-4 explains my anonymity whilst Matthew chapter 19 verses 16-21 gives my explanation for giving the lot to the Haiti Lemon Aid Appeal. S O, D I G D E E P A N D B I D H I G H!!!! and keep watching as there lots of serious stuff to come (Unreleased Gram Parsons acetate, a couple of hundred Westwood one type radio shows, unreleased Townes Van Zandt acetate and hundreds more of similar ilk).
