    "My Sweetness."
    

 
    I have been trying to write this essay for three decades. Still no luck. But I am getting closer.
    It's talking to the other people who were involved with the production of this record — some of whom are still alive — which reinvigorates me and brings back to memory the taste and feel of those amazing days in 1976.
    I'll not keep you waiting too much longer. In the meanwhile, click on the video below, which was made in November, 2006 at the home of Herb Lovelle's daughter, in Arlington, Massachusetts.  Herb was there, and had invited me to come and visit.
