Well listening now, that was a pretty attempt at the improvised ending of a I'd to New Orleans with limited skills on the guitar but in the city of jazz, I started attempting to expand my expertise in direction all, I was living in the French Quarter, had grown a goatee, and was hanging out at after hours bohemian bars to some very talented musicians trying to pick up pointers
So in my attempt to show off some of talent to Travis and Milton The D 9th jazz I was attempting, never made it out of the starting What was produced is what is known as a clunker The guitars version of a
The was running 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 about trying to the fade but then I thought that clunker chord was of the process
Improvising is to anything creative, trying to stretch beyond my comfort 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 brings us to the B-side of the record and a called: Abandoned on Tuesday By the time we were ready to do the local musicians had showed up at the studio and before I it, I had a band for the next cut
and the thing is, looking back on it, one of the session players on track was a young from Mobile Rick Hersch, who was one of the founding of Wet Willy who are from Mobile
Rick had gone on to play with bands Randy Newman to Wonder We would run into other on the road occasionally but then I touch with Rick As faith would it, as we were putting the pieces of this together I back to Mobile to visit with Milton and do interviews for the video in this package that my daughter produced
While there as Milton told his of events, he reminded me that the guitar on Abandoned on Tuesday and several other tracks was Rick Our Producer for Treasure is Will Kimbro who is also Mobile When I told him that Rick was the player on the track He told me he had been at Rick's house on Dog in Mobile the before
You can't make this stuff up I'm getting back in touch with Rick who now his time between Los and Dog River He's now nugget in our burried treasure and I plan to up with him soon Rick is still making great music so you might check him out In the meantime you can hear him right on Abandon on Tuesday
