FYI
Both Soup and Cheese were local Appleton bands.
Soup basically started up and sorta copied the style of "Cream" The British super group of the time
Cheese sorta copied an American super group "Electric Flag"

Both of these local bands were always a must see concert even if you saw them 3 nights a week.

just picture a room full of kids with their heads bobbing to beat of the music.

Yeah, figured they were local groups..

Here's a link to some Soup:

I would LOVE to have a CD of Doug's live recordings. Does the offer still stand?

I can offer a little background. Regarding the acetate found in San Francisco, I had a friend in Novato, CA (just north of SF) who was very close to Doug. He told be that following Soup's second LP, "The Album Soup", he and Doug drove cross country from WI to LA where Doug enrolled at GIT and rented an apartment which was the former apartment of the Hillside Strangler. Doug died in this apartment and my friend ended up with the master and a number of other recordings. My Novato friend told me that when he split up with a girlfriend, she made off with the master. This is one plausible story for the acetate being found in SF. Thanks.

I would be extremely interested in any recordings of Doug's work - any format. I am from the Fox Valley - saw Soup many times. Rob's wife, Margaret, stood up at our wedding. Thought Dave Fass passed away in Madison because I heard he had cancer years ago. Went to see my friend, Paul Flipowicz, play at a place in Jefferson 10 years ago and Dave Fass was his bass player. Somehow I ended up with two B&W photos of Soup playing at the Filmore. Dave was surprised and wanted them. By time I found them, he moved back to Appleton. I told Dave (in 2000) that I just got the Soup CD and it was news to him! Anyhow...I would pay $$$ big to have any other material from Doug and/or Soup. David Mathias - Lake Mills, WI
