Moulty
I first heard the Barbarians and their song “Moulty” in college when I picked up a copy of “Nuggets,” the double-record, sixties garage band compilation by Lenny Kaye. I bought that in Kenmore Square at a used record store called…Nuggets. The song tells the dramatic story of how the band’s drummer, Victor “Moulty” Moulton, lost his left hand in an accident. That song is not on this lp, but is on the CD reissue as a bonus track. Here’s a story of how The Band, (the Hawks in 1966), ended up playing on “Moulty”. The “hit” here is “Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl” (another track from the Nuggets set).

Hello my friend,
Thank you for your interest in me.
Working with Dylan’s band was very nice. A real good band.
We all had a lot of fun.
The “session” went very smooth and professional.

Nice website. I bought Nuggets, too, probably as a recent cut-out. Incredible compilation by Lenny Kaye that complimented my interest in punk—these guys were the godfathers of punk, really. When I say “these guys,” I mean everyone on that comp, not just The Barbarians. Was Nuggets on SIRE Records? I can’t remember. Anything on SIRE was cool. Then in the 80s I moved up to Boston, so it’s nice to hear you lived there, too, and the names of places I had been to and know quite well. The first song I ever remember hearing on the radio was “Dirty Water.” I was a little kid and it was a hit at that time. Little did I know I would move to New England the River Charles would be something I would see on a daily basis. And “Are you a Boy or are you a Girl” is an all-time classic.
