So in my attempt to show off some of that to Travis and Milton The D 9th jazz chord I was attempting, never it out of the gate What was produced is what is as a clunker chord The guitars version of a
The meter was running on my session time so I had them fade the ending the clunker On the original tape though, it was there I first listened to the track I thought about trying to repeating the fade but then I that clunker was part of the process

Rick had gone on to play with from Randy Newman to Stevie We would run into each other on the occasionally but then I lost touch with As faith would have it, as we were the pieces of project together I went back to Mobile to visit with Milton and do for the video in this that my daughter Delaney produced

You can't make this stuff up I'm back in touch with Rick who now splits his time Los Angeles and Dog River He's now another in our burried treasure and I plan to catch up him soon Rick is still making great music so you might wanna him out In the meantime you can hear him right here on Abandon on
