Dammit. Friend of mine whom I have not seen in a few years died sometime in the last week or so. He was the first guy to ever pay me to record his music when I first built my home studio. He's not an EllGabber, but he would have considered it. Thought I would share a song or two of his. Pretty sure I played bass on these two. We had him and his family over for Christmas a few years in a row. Fun folks.

So basically, life kills people. Huh. kind of defeats the entire purpose.. :-\   ::) 


Wait until you are the last one still vertical. Fortunately, I wasn't as bad of an alcoholic and ate a better diet, but it sure takes a toll if you're keeping score at home.
Eh, nevermind...

Just found this online.  Hard to believe we recorded it 40-years ago this month.

Yes, the Holy Rollers and traditional church people hated us for bringing rock and roll elements into Christian music.  And Phil Driscoll hated our Larry Finney because Larry had a much better high range on trumpet.  Recorded by Paul Hornsby who recorded The Allman Brothers, Charlie Daniels, The Marshall Tucker Band, etc.

I enjoyed the Amazing Grace arrangement - can you tell me what I am hearing at 1:09?

Did those songs seem dated to you back then?
It seems a good 15 years behind the times.
Also - did the talky guy ever discover there the L in myself?

The Prayer seems like it was written after watching Elvis.

Cool, Juan. Thanks for posting it.

Recorded live entirely off the floor for the most part?

I don't know what that is at 1:09.  I know the guitar player and another guitar player who thought he was an engineer/producer did some remixing many years later.  Maybe something from that.  It wasn't in the original mix.

We were all old blues band players, so it sounded normal to us.  But certainly not 80s.  The Finney brothers on sax and trumpet played with Greg Allman, the guitar players with some famous at the time country artist whose name I don't remember.  Bass player on some of the tunes was from a Miami band "People" that had a minor hit.  The drummer was from a Kiss-wannabe band.  And me - just some goober who played trombone and wrote the horn parts.

Donn Finney, on sax, had a brain tumor that eventually killed him.  He played the first Amazing Grace lead on tenor, then had a seizure.  I had to go in the booth and slap him to snap him out of it, then he picked up the soprano sax and played the ending.  All without stopping the tape.

This was sort of disorganized as I suppose most non-major productions are.  Started out as 8-track, then some songs were recorded on 16-track.  I don't remember which.  It was largely live on the floor with solos and vocals added separately.

I have a few more somewhere.  I'll see if I can upload them.

Are you sure it wasn't because Larry had a longer digital delay?
😁😁😁

I have to admit, putting delay on horn, even synthesizered, was a regular tool doing live back in the '90s. Mr. Driscoll inspired that.
