From Light in the Attic Records:
Pacific Northwest isolation mixed with wide-eyed ambition, a strong sense of family and the gift of music proved to be quite the combination for teenage brothers Donnie and Joe Emerson. Originally released in 1979, Dreamin’ Wild is the sonic vision of the talented Emerson boys, recorded in a family built home studio in rural Washington State. Situated in the unlikely blink-and-you-missed-it town of Fruitland and far removed from the late 1970s punk movement and the larger disco boom, Donnie and Joe tilled their own musical soil, channeling bedroom pop jams, raw funk, and yacht rock.Why? Because when you live in the sticks, it's Fun To Pretend.

Jay this is wonderful.
And eerie... basically in my backyard, in Dave's backyard, during the time we met... and I'd never heard of any of it.
Never heard of Fruitland (pop 866 in the 2011 census). Never heard of the Emerson Bros.
[Dave probably recorded with them and gigged in Fruitland.]
If you superimpose the the map where Twin Peaks is supposed to be, it's awful close to Fruitland.
Cool.
That's really cool. Emerson, Smith and Bischoff. Ha ha.
Dave has done his share of gigs in Fruitland.
Ha haaa!
Gigs? He was the MAYOR!
