Well listening now, was a pretty interesting attempt at the improvised of a song I'd gone to New Orleans with limited skills on the but in the city of jazz, I started attempting to my guitar expertise in direction After all, I was in the French Quarter, had grown a goatee, and was hanging out at after hours bohemian listening to some very talented trying to pick up some pointers
So in my attempt to off some of that talent to Travis and Milton The D 9th jazz chord I was attempting, never it out of the starting What was produced is is known as a clunker chord The version of a trainwreck
The was running on my session time so I just had them fade the ending the clunker On the original though, it was still there When I first listened to the track I thought trying to repeating the but then I thought that clunker chord was of the process
Improvising is to anything creative, trying to stretch beyond my comfort zone on the at the time My fingers could not make out I was thinking If it doesn't just try and not repeat your
So that brings us to the B-side of the record and a called: Abandoned on Tuesday By the time we were ready to do the some musicians had showed up at the studio and before I knew it, I had a band for the cut
and the funny is, looking back on it, one of the players on this track was a young guitarist Mobile named Hersch, who was one of the founding members of Wet who are from also
Rick had gone on to play bands from Randy Newman to Stevie We would run into other on the road occasionally but then I lost with Rick As would have it, as we were putting the pieces of project together I went back to Mobile to with Milton and do interviews for the video in this package that my daughter Delaney
While there as told his version of events, he reminded me that the guitar player on on Tuesday and several other tracks was Rick Our Producer for Buried Treasure is Will who is also Mobile When I told him that Rick was the player on the track He told me he had at Rick's house on Dog River in Mobile the night
You can't make this stuff up I'm getting back in touch Rick who now splits his time between Los Angeles and Dog He's now another nugget in our burried and I plan to catch up with him is still making great music so you might wanna check him out In the meantime you can hear him here on Abandon on Tuesday
