Bob, we are the same kind of music & history geeks...and the combination is deadly. I follow trails all the time, not knowing where they will go and find some of the coolest stuff...like this and your writing. Keep it up, it's fun, entertaining and illuminating from here. You've been editing video, which is what I've been trying to get to all day...as to organization, it can make or break a project. I told someone years ago that I was as much a librarian and researcher as video editor. Cheers & time for some tequila...it's almost 5 "somewhere". By the way, Stan Kenton's tour bus said "Nowhere"...I thought "everywhere" or "anywhere" was really much more appropriate....when Jaimoe found out that I had done audio for Kenton's big band and that I knew who Peter Erskin was the conversation got a lot more in depth.
Thanks for the encouragement. I know you understand how vital the unending conversation is for a writer. And speaking of Jaimoe, I just sent that We Three tune to Jaimoe today. #mushroommagic
I so much want to meet him. The phone interview I did with him was a personal highlight for me. I was in the position, in a 5 piece cover band of trying to sound like Butch & Jaimoe at one time....and our guitar player was trying to cover Duane & Dickey. It was nice to just do Marshall Tucker...or Wet Willie. I wish I had a video of the first gig we did with a B3 player who could sing...in front of 5,000 teenagers...one of the best nights of my life...certainly of my playing drums life.
