The Lost Takoma Sessions were recorded back in the second summer of love,
1977 in Ohio and Los Angeles. The first of these solo acoustic guitar
recordings attracted the ear of guitar-picking legend John Fahey, who
invited young Mark Fosson to Los Angeles to become the latest Takoma
Records recording artist, joining the ranks of Leo Kottke, Robbie Basho
and Fahey himself. Fosson duly headed west ù and after a heady period
spent opening shows for Fahey and making new studio recordings of
acoustic guitar stylings, fate struck hard: Takoma Records went broke.
The label was sold, lock stock and barrel, to Chrysalis, thus ending the
John Fahey era of the label founded by and for John Fahey. Before
wandering off to his own fate, he returned MarkÆs tapes to Mark ù who
couldnÆt find another interested soul anywhere! On the heels of fate
came the march of time, and it wasnÆt until MarkÆs cousin Tiffany began
asking questions a couple years back that this CD became possible. And
on July 25, The Lost Takoma Sessions become found again. All it took
was a little love ù and twenty-nine years!
