STEVE ELLIS AND THE STARFIRES / STEVE ELLIS SONG BOOK - IOWA GREAT LAKES RECORDING (IGL) LPM-105 MONO - MILFORD, IOWA
STEVE ELLIS WAS A PSYCHEDELIC GUY. PROBABLY THE MOST PSYCHEDELIC MAN THE PEOPLE OF WESTERN MINNESOTA AND EASTER SOUTH DAKOTA HAVE EVER KNOWN. HE WAS BORN IN PIPESTONE, MINNESOTA DECEMBER 23, 1944. HE LIVED HIS ENTIRE 22 YEARS, EIGHT MONTHSAND EIGHT DAYS IN A LARGE COUNTRY HOME ABOUT FOUR MILES SOUTHWEST OF TOWN. ABOUT TWO MILES FROM HOME, ON HOGHWAY 23, A SOUPED UP 600 C.C. MOTORCYCLE THAT HE COMPLETELY REBUIT AND REWORKED. THE VALVE STEM ON THE REAR TIRE BROKE FROM THE WEIGHT OF A RIDER AND THE TIRE BLEW. STEVE WAS NOT ONLY AN ACCOMPLISHED MUSICIAN, BUT A YOUG MAN WITH MANY TALENTS. HE SHOWED GREAT PLANNING AND MECHANICAL ABILITY IN THE 600 HORSE-POWER OLDSMOBILE ENGINE THAT SET A "B"/ALTERED TRACK ENABLED HIM TO BUILD ALL THE SOUND EQUIPMENT FOR THE STARFIRES. STEVE'S MUSICAL CAREER STARTED WITH A BOAT RIDE AT A SUMMER CAMP WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TWELVE YEARS OLD. A MINISTER HANDED HIM A GUITAR, SHOWED HIM A FEW CORDS AND TWO YEARS LATER HE WAS PLAYING PROFESSIONALLY. AT THE AGE OF 17 HE DECIDED TO FORM HIS OWN GROUP "STEVE ELLIS AND THE STARFIRES" AND PLAYED IN JUST ABOUT EVERY TOWN IN SOUTHERN MINNESOTA, NORTHERN IOWA AND NEBRASKA, SOUTH DAKOTA AND NORTH DAKOTA. HE LATER WENT ON TO WRITE HIS OWN SONGS FOR THE STARFIRES, OF WHICH ARE ON THIS ALBUM . FIVE SONGS HE WROTE HE WILL NEVER RECORD. STEVE'S GREAT LOVES WERE MUSIC AND CARS, AND THE EXCITEMENT HE DERIVED FOR EACH . THE BIG COUNTRY HOUSE IS QUIET NOW, THE WALLS STILL ECHO THE POUNDING, DRIVING, HARD ROCK SOUND OF THE "STARFIRES" IN PRACTICE, THE LAUGHTER, THE JOKES AND THE EXCHANGING OF IDEAS AND THOUGHTS. IF YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY YOU CAN STILL HEAR THAT BIG "418 CUBE" OLDSMOBILE ENGINE REVVING IN THE GARAGE TO ABOUT SIX THOUSANDRPM'S. FANS STILL STOP BY AND SAY HELLO TO STEVE'S MOTHER AND PAUSE FOR A MOMENT TO LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS. STEVE ELLIS WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN OUR HEARTS AND HIS MUSIC THAT YOU WILL HEAR ON THIS ALBUM. RECORD AT THUNDER VALLEY DEAGWAYS IN MARION, SOUTH DAKOTA. THE CAR WAS A CUSTOMIZED 1938 DESOTO COUPE WITH SIX TWO-BARREL CARBURETORS. STEVE WAS ALSO COMPLETING AN ELECTRICAL TECHNICIANS COURSE WHICH
