When I was Robert Randolph's guitar tech in 2002, Calvin was on the road with Robert for a number of dates. I have some recordings with him on DAT tapes.

I have many hours of Robert's first tour in 2002, on DAT tapes. Some soundboard mixes and some with two Sure SM7s. One of those projects, Del Ray.
Here's my song, "The Brand New Operah" that has Chuck Campell and a little of Robert Randolph at the end:

I was sad that Derrick Campell passed away. He was so amazing on his Fender stand-up steel.
A beautiful touch.
