The Bethlehem Exit - Walk Me Out

The members of The Bethlehem Exit were from Los Altos and Cupertino, towns just south of Palo Alto in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. Their single appeared in July 1966 on Jabberwock Records, a label based in Walnut Creek. The title has been changed but a-side ‘Walk Me Out’ is in fact an excellent up-tempo, jangling rendition of ‘Morning Dew’, the folk song about survivors of a nuclear war composed by Canadian singer Bonnie Dobson in 1961 that came to be something of a standard in the mid to late 60s thanks to covers by the likes of Fred Neil, Tim Rose and The Grateful Dead. Walk Me Out / Blues Concerning My Girl Members: John Tomasi (lead vocals, harp) Pete Sultzbach (guitar) Dave Wilkie (bass) Chris Ingstrom (drums)
