Beanstalk - "Spider Jam"
Nosing through my CD collection the other day, I picked up Beanstalk's Synergy for the first time in years. I bought their 2001 release at one of their shows many moons ago. I remember playing through it quite a bit at the time, but it appears the band has since faded away. Despite my persistent Googling I've been unable to find either a website or a place to purchase the album. What I do know is that they are/were from Tampa, Florida, and usually performed as a trio including Joel Lisi, Andy Irvine, and Billy Carr. Here is one track from their album that always made me smile. It's a jazz fusion cover of the "Spider-Man" theme they've dubbed "Spider Jam." Perfect for the comic book guy in all of us.

If anybody knows anything about what happened with Beanstalk or what the players are up to now, I'd like to know. Those guys have/had chops.

Hey Rich, thanks for pulling out the Beanstalk and making me remember those great shows at the Brandyhouse and Ciceros. The guitarist Joel was in a band called "Ghetto Love Sugar" for a while in 2002-2003. No idea what the other guys are up to...

Thx Lance. Walter B only sat in for that Brandyhouse show, right? I know I have copies of those recordings somewhere. Probably in a milk crate somewhere at my mom's place.

Lance, you rule. Thanks!!!
So we didn't tape that one? I can't remember. Maybe we didn't have our own mics yet at the time? I know I had some for Beck a few months earlier. Maybe I borrowed them from James. Hmm.
Good times. :)
