Well it was a successful breakfast gig But It was Milton's other option that get me in the direction that I wanted to be going About six later while we were in the studio He told me he was one of his trips to Nashville Which he did or twice a year to demos of his songs, which he would then pitch to artists in Nashville
He had a pretty track record and he had established pretty good contacts in music city as He me to come along And then explained the Travis had to Nashville a couple of months earlier when a job opened up as a full time engineer at Spar Studios
He would be engineering sessions Milton wanted me to do a of one of his contemporary songs called round a ball When that was we would use the time left on the to record three of my songs With the ace players he had hired He told me that the top pedal player at the time, Lloyd was from Mobile and a and would be playing on the session
Milton had told him about me coming This give us a Nashville recorded session of demos that he could then to record companies I thanked him about 1000 in the minutes after he explained the And with Milton's help, it seemed that a few pieces of the I saw as my future, seemed to be finally together
I was anxious, excited and a bit as I repeating to myself everyday before we the plane, Damn, going to Nashville And no mistake about it, Nashville was the big time
There weren't any major career moves happening for me at the Admiral's or the electrical department at Alabhama [?] company So as Twain said, I was ready to light out into the territory Meanwhile, in Mobile, before we left, the tape kept on recording
This was favourite Lightfoot song, called the Gypsey a fortune-teller that was very popular in our Street days and I had my fortune read a few times in town I blame that habit on my favourite record of that era,, Teller, written by Allen and recorded by Benny Spellman
Benny seemed to have a little more of his money's worth Gordon did Anyway, Here's one of the last songs i recorded in Mobile before I went looking for my own fortune... is the Gypsey
