I really love this song. Thanks for sharing the process - all Greek to me but enjoy attempting to visualize how it all comes together.

That tweak of the time really puts a drive in the tune. Listening to the original now. Great work. Like, 'on repeat'

So good. I think I remember a Danelectro and a looping pedal from Mercury Lounge probably just years into the new millennium and it was such a special continuous show but I could be wrong because my memory is selective.

Hi. Your memory has selected correctly. Live looping was a fun way to keep the shows on their toes — each night had a twist.

I went to school in Gainesville and worked at the local record store. Robert Ray was a teacher of mine and he and Carey would often come into the store and talk about the Beatles and other things. Walter Humara and the Silos were also around town a lot in those days. I was lucky to see both bands whenever I could. Thanks for sharing this, It has me memory tripping

Also, my friend JD Foster was also in both The Vulgar Boatmen & The Silos. What a concentration of talent.

JD Foster produced the self titled Silos record at the Florida Theatre and he came into the record shop with Bob Rupe a few times. Lovely man, he put me on to Townes Van Zandt Live at the Old Quarter before any of my friends had discovered him. Hell of a bass player too.
