vid: train rhythm blue

One of the few compositions of my own I ever cut twice in the studio, the first time as a cowboy ballad on the second album I ever produced, Ray Campi's Train Rhythm Blue, and then with this arrangement, on my trio CD Bear Flag.

I'm really fond of this performance, on a morning news show in Mobile, AL, with the trio that in most ways was my best, with Chris Spies on organ and my soul brother David White on drums.

I'm homesick for my Alabama friends right now, and I hope this performance tells you why.

By the way -- that red Fender Duo-Sonic I'm playing there was a gift from George Wendt. I've since handed it over to Jamie Hartford's daughter, except Jamie seems to like it better than she does.

David, Billy, May, Camilla, Lisa, Leslie -- see you at Waffle House.
