What's new on this web page?
If you see the date changing on this page, without an announcement in this section, it is probably something like fixing minor coding problems, spelling errors, minor layout changes, new page on this site (so I changed bottom index), ... Any major changes to this page, will be announced here.
September 11, 2009. Jim Carroll died of a heart attack in his home in Manhattan, New York.
July 18, 2005. I just noticed that the ezBoard message board that I had set up for this web site had been deleted. Since restoration of the deleted conference is only available to subscribers to their service, and since the activity was relatively light, I not planning on looking for another message board. If you do think a message board is worth while, or you have a message board that you like, let me know and I may promote it here. As always you can contact me here.
March 10, 2001. It looks like I may have been premature in moving to a new web hosting site. I just found out that whenever Tripod.com is having hardware or software problems with their servers, they put up a message for the webmaster that their site is in violation of terms, and the web site has been deleted (instead of a message about system problems and try again later). Anyway, I believed Tripod.com when they said they deleted my account, so I will be moving, and making chromeoxide.com my new home on the web.
March 10, 2001. As long as I am moving my entire site, I decided to make a few changes to the layout of the individual pages, and the web site in general, including (but not limited to) I removed the counter, and moved the listings of mirror sites to the bottom of the page, ...
March 6, 2001. Sometime between March 1 to March 5, 2001 Tripod deleted my account/web site. The last stats Tripod gave me were 9,000+ visitors per month. Since my site is so popular, I have decided to keep it going, in spite of this major setback. But rather than trying to build up another free web site, and possibly deal with this problem again, I decided go with CommandLine.net to host the new chromeoxide.com.
December 9, 2000. Paul Sanchez, guitarist for the Jim Carroll Band just visited my site, was happy to see that people still remember and listen to the band.
October 31, 2000. The new Chrome Oxide Music Collectors Pages Message Board is provided by EZBoard.
September 5, 2000. I started creating this page.
INTRO:
[Top (page index)] [Up] [Down] [Bottom (site index)]
Jim Carroll is a poet, and a writer. They even made a movie about his early days. But for a short period of time (1979 - 1985), he fronted a band that rocked with the best of them, and had interesting lyrics.
The original band started out being called Amsterdam. But after some personel changes, Jim Carroll joined, and it soon became the Jim Carroll Band. Jim Carroll never intended on making a career of music, and after three studio albums (and the obligatory supporting tours), he stopped recording/performing with the band.
His interesting voice/singing style, and the strong instrumental backing, make his albums worth checking out.
Interesting info (from Paul Sanchez):
Paul Sanchez grew up in Arizona, and his older brother went to school with Alice Cooper. Before joining the Jim Carroll Band, Paul used to be a session player for R & B and disco bands. Paul has produced albums for other artists. Paul is currently writing music for commercials (First Federal Bank, ...) and movies (for Joe Esterhaus, ...).
Steve Linsley now works as a photographer and doing post production work in Los Angeles, CA. Some of his photography can be seen on his web site at Silver and Light Photoworks and at Black & White Worlds Photo of the Month for March 2001 (and #1 on their top ten list for March 2001).
Lenny Kaye didn't participate in the I Write Your Name tour as his wife had just given birth. However, he did manage to fly to Los Angles for business, and did play with the band at the Palace show.
Wayne Woods used to tape all the shows. But has still not released any of them to anyone. Wayne no longer plays in bands, but has a photography studio in the San Francisco area. Waynes wife was the tour manager of the band.
Comments and corrections would be appreciated.
And of course, any audio-video-print additions to my collection would be appreciated.
I am also interested in getting wider exposure for this site. So links from your site to mine would be appreciated. And if you know of any sites that allow/encourage submission, I would also appreciate knowing about them as well.
Do you have any articles, books, albums, tapes, CDs, ... on this band that you would like reviewed and / or integrated into this page?
Do you have any other band that you would like to see a page for on this site?

This is an experiment. I am listing various classified ads that might be of interest to browsers of this page.
Let me know what you think of this idea?
And if you do order something listed here, let them know you found out about it here.
Also, let me know how this worked out for you.
June 29, 2003.
MusicStack looks like a good source of used music items
(LPs, CDs, posters, ...).
As always, let me know what you think.
Back in October 1999 I put up links to CD-Now so that visitors could easily link to the related band pages and instantly see which items were still in print/available for purchase. CD-Now no longer has that option. For the moment I am putting in Amazon.com search boxes. Amazon.com doesn't easily allow for links to individual band pages in the same way that CD-Now used to. So, instead of me being able to create direct links, I have put up the Amazon.com search box instead. So you can still go to a page with the various bands products, buy you now need to go through a search box.
As always, let me know what you think.
