Well listening now, that was a pretty interesting at the improvised of a song I'd gone to New Orleans with skills on the guitar but in the city of jazz, I started attempting to my guitar expertise in that After all, I was in the French Quarter, had grown a goatee, and was out at after hours bohemian bars listening to some very talented trying to pick up some pointers
So in my to show off some of that talent to Travis and Milton The D 9th jazz chord I was attempting, made it out of the starting What was produced is what is known as a clunker The version of a trainwreck
The meter was on my session time so I just had them fade the before the clunker On the original though, it was still there When I first listened to the track I thought about to repeating the but then I thought that clunker chord was part of the
Improvising is to anything creative, trying to stretch beyond my comfort zone on the at the time My fingers could not make out what I was If it doesn't just try and not repeat your
So brings us to the B-side of the first record and a song called: on Tuesday By the time we were ready to do the some local had showed up at the studio and before I knew it, I had a for the next cut
and the funny is, looking back on it, one of the session players on this was a young from Mobile named Hersch, who was one of the founding members of Wet who are from also
had gone on to play with bands from Randy Newman to Stevie We would run into other on the road occasionally but I lost touch with Rick As faith would it, as we were putting the pieces of this project I went back to Mobile to visit Milton and do interviews for the video in this package my daughter Delaney produced
While there as Milton his version of events, he reminded me that the guitar player on Abandoned on and several other was Rick Hersch Our for Buried Treasure is Will Kimbro who is also from When I told him Rick was the guitar player on the track He told me he had been at house on Dog River in Mobile the before
You can't make this stuff up I'm back in touch with 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 right here on Abandon on
