Ed's Epistle: This Week In Dino History

Hey ya pallies! Bitter sweet Dino-history time of the year.

This week in 1983 Dino recorded his last studio album of his long illustrious career. The Nashville sessions was recorded at Masterfonics Sound from January 17 through January 21.

Not on the LP, the last song Dino recorded, appropriately named "L.A. Is My Home".
