Description:

"A c. 1970 demo tape reel (7.5 ips) for the Minnesota-based folk trio, Sunlending, containing original songs and one cover: "Me and Bobby McGee."

Includes a manila envelope labeled "Sunlending," a short note from Daly to "Bob" (likely Bob Rafelson), expressing interest in meeting Kristofferson while the band was in Taos, as well as a typewritten track list and lyric sheets for "Pamela," "Rain Blows Down," "Girl with No Eyes," and "Tuesday Monday."

This configuration of the band toured but appears to have never released an album, two of the members (Anthony Matthews and Pamela Buckley) passing away at the young ages of 32 and 24, respectively, in 1975 and 1976. Matthews died in a hanggliding accident outside of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, while Buckley was recently identified as a longstanding shooting victim Jane Doe in Sumter County, South Carolina.

Does anyone know who bought this? I'm very, very interested in tracking down Sunlending original music.

I've been interested to heat it too but never found a copy.
