Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You

from Solid Gold Electric Chestnut Dispenser by Charlie Chesterman

about

Another example of a song being written "just for me!!" Pete Weiss and I had been listening to Dylan's "Nashville Skyline" album during my "Studebakersfield" sessions, using it as a template of sorts for the sound we might shoot for in the studio. I really like this tune -- wheezy harmonica, wrong lyrics, poor spelling and all. Wish he had written it for me. And it fit nicely into the need of Sister Ruby Records, who had requested a Dylan cover from me. This tune, by the way kickstarted my becoming a fan of the "Minnesota Meteor."
- Charlie

PW note: Charlie's vocals and guitar were recorded together with one microphone (RCA 77) in the tiny Zippah "lounge." The only overdub was the harmonica (using the same mic.)

about

Charlie Chesterman Boston, Massachusetts

The late, great CHARLIE CHESTERMAN brought punk to the plains with THE LAW, sowed the seeds of alt-country and roots-pop in SCRUFFY THE CAT, and blended twang & tenderness with humor & heartache in HARMONY ROCKETS and CHAZ & THE MOTORBIKES.

He was a tremendous talent and a wonderful human being.

We miss you Charlie. Thanks for leaving us with all this great music.
