Well now, that was a pretty interesting attempt at the ending 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 living in the French Quarter, had a goatee, and was hanging out at after hours bohemian bars to some talented musicians trying to pick up some pointers
So in my attempt to show off some of that talent to and Milton The D 9th jazz chord I was attempting, never it out of the starting What was is what is known as a clunker chord The guitars of a trainwreck
The meter was running on my session time so I had fade the ending before the clunker On the original tape though, it was there When I first listened to the track I about trying to repeating the fade but I thought that clunker was part of the process
Improvising is essential to anything creative, to beyond my comfort zone on the fretboard at the time My fingers could not out what I was thinking If it just try and not repeat your mistakes
So that us to the B-side of the first record and a called: Abandoned on Tuesday By the time we were to do the track local musicians had showed up at the studio and I knew it, I had a band for the next cut
and the funny is, looking back on it, one of the session players on this was a guitarist from Mobile Rick Hersch, who was one of the founding of Wet Willy who are from also
Rick had on to play with bands from Randy Newman to Wonder We would run into other on the road occasionally but then I touch with Rick As faith would have it, as we were the pieces of project together I went back to Mobile to visit with and do interviews for the video in this that my daughter Delaney produced
While there as Milton told his version of events, he me the guitar player on Abandoned on Tuesday and several tracks was Rick Hersch Our Producer for Buried Treasure is Will Kimbro who is Mobile When I told him Rick was the guitar player on the track He told me he had been at Rick's house on Dog River in the night
You can't make kinda stuff up I'm back in touch with Rick who now splits his time Los Angeles and Dog River He's now another nugget in our treasure and I plan to catch up with him Rick is still making music so you might wanna check him out In the meantime you can hear him right here on on Tuesday
