Being fans of Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter since the late 60ies, Joe and Otto heard that Ian was touring with a new band to promote his album "The Artful Dodger". They contacted his Management and his Tour manager to play a session...nobody believed that this would ever happen. But sometimes miracles occur: they got a confirmation, and a few weeks later Mr. Hunter in person, alive and well, walked into the studio.

German radio station HO*T-FM, based in the north-Bavarian city Hof, had big success with their alternative program (playing Blues, Rock, mainly so-called Americana, live-concerts and musicians in the studio...) and was running a program called "9 square meter sessions". Exclusive recordings have been produced there from 1996 to 2002, and a lot of Blue Rose and Glitterhouse artists walked into this tiny studio to record some fine and rare tunes. HO*T-FM's manager Joe L. hosted and watched all those sessions, Otto G. was the sound-engineer, a perfectionist with all those machines and buttons.
