"Song To Mom" has been recorded a number of times. Of particular interest are the Mendocino Cummunity Studio Tapes of 1980-81 where it was recorded accoustically by myself,PB, and videotaped as well. It was also AKA'd with Barking Dog and the No Infants band. (Track 8 on the "No Infants, Please!" album of '83). Also availabe as done with The Audacity over in New Zealand in '91 on "Barking Dog With The Audacity: Alive And Kicking!".
