Christopher Cook (1987-1990)

I think this is the first of the Christopher Cook solo tapes and I believe it was released in 1987. Most of you are probably most familiar with Christopher from his work in St. Huck and with The Flatlanders. Not sure if Chris played solo shows or not, I don't remember any but he did release a total of four cassettes. Last I knew, Chris was the owner of a store on Willamette between 5th & 6th St. Anyone know the name of it? Same building Green Noise used to be in.
