Well listening now, that was a pretty interesting at the ending of a song 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 After all, I was in the French Quarter, had grown a goatee, and was out at after hours bohemian bars listening to very talented musicians trying to pick up some 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 version of a trainwreck
The meter was running on my session time so I had them fade the ending the clunker On the original though, it was still there When I first listened to the track I thought about to repeating the fade but then I thought clunker was part of the process
Improvising is to anything creative, trying to beyond my comfort zone on the fretboard at the time My fingers not make out what I was thinking If it doesn't just try and not repeat mistakes
So that brings us to the of the first record and a song called: Abandoned on By the time we were to do the track some local musicians had showed up at the and before I it, I had a band for the next cut
and the funny thing is, looking on it, one of the session on this track was a young from Mobile Rick Hersch, who was one of the founding members of Wet who are from also
Rick had gone on to play with bands Randy Newman to Wonder We would run into each other on the road but then I lost with Rick As faith would have it, as we putting the pieces of this together I went back to Mobile to visit Milton and do interviews for the video in this package that my daughter Delaney
While there as Milton his version 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 from When I him that Rick was the guitar player on the track He told me he had at Rick's house on Dog River in Mobile the night
You can't this kinda stuff up I'm getting in touch with Rick who now splits his time between Los Angeles and Dog He's now another nugget in our burried treasure and I to up with him soon Rick is still making great music so you might check him out In the meantime you can him right here on Abandon on Tuesday
