  The CD Release Show |
Spring By March Bob, I and the band had completed recording The Country That Never Was. Joey Mars was conscripted for artwork and we made of a video of one of the songs (Sixty Dollar Draw.) Bob went all out for this album. He was able to finance a full release and devoted incredible attention to the whole process. The Country may be the disc I am most proud of. It was the most ego-less project I have ever worked on. There was no resistance. chalk most of that up to Bob and Greg's groove during the basic sessions. It was almost telepathic. When Bob first mentioned the idea, we both decided, that if after one song it was obviously not working, we'd treat the whole thing like office sex and pretend it never happened. Instead we all blinked and a record had been made. Bob booked the Green Rooster for the CD release show, Keith Prescott and I taped it. It was a lovely night. |
 Also during that spring, James Keyes and I worked on his second solo project, Ruminations. Jim had a much better idea of how it wanted it to sound, than his previous project. Featured on the project were: Morgan Freeman (Hoodrat) - Bass, Jim Berkely - Banjo and Mandolin Greg Sullivan - Drums and Jason James - Piano |
