What They Are Saying About “I Got the Fish in the Head”
“You nailed how the scene was back then including the analogy of the Dead and other jam bands’ influence on a few of the local bands of the time.”
Johnny Price– guitarist for Remedy, Keystone and participant in the legendary “Kitchen Jam, ” which also featured members of the Radiators
“I have always been drawn to certain music, but not being a musician or scholar I have no idea why certain music turns me on. You have given me insight and the words to explain why the Rads have been such a powerful influence on my musical tastes.”
Ruth Zarren– Tulane University alumna- class of 1988- former President of the Tulane Alumni Club of St Louis
The story of the Radiators is one of the most interesting chapters in the epic saga of New Orleans music. Jay Mazza has tracked this tale of Crescent City eccentricity and native genius in great detail over the course of the band’s 33 1/3-year spin. His account of the life and times of the Rads is destined to take a special place in New Orleans music history.
John Swenson, Author of New Atlantis
“After reading the book it inspired me to do another run to see the Radiators from Pennsylvania to Virginia that I can’t afford.”
Guy Nash– Fishhead
You did a great job giving a flavor of the history of the band. I really enjoy your perspective and writing style. I will be recommending it to my fish head friends.
Dan Muskat– Fishhead- Tulane alumni- 1982
Thanks again for the great read! You really hit my soft spot in my heart for my love of the Rads for the past 20+ years.
