Great Doors classic. Perfect tune to jam out when one is in a dark mood. Ok....I feel better already.  (All instruments played by me.)

Riders On The Storm

Autumn Leaves done retro west coast, 1962 Los Angeles style.
I used Nat King Cole's piano and Nat King Cole's RCA BX44 microphone.
This is recorded "direct to disc" so everything is permanent, every mistake, every clam, every remark. It is just like in 1962 when you just roll the tape!!!

Produced by Bryan H Yoshida
Co-produced by Ricky Lux and Dennis Moody

Larry Sanders - vocal

Autumn Leaves

My attempt at duplicating from scratch Nelson Riddle's famous Route 66 TV score. All of the tracks were recorded with real LA session players playing on real instruments, in a real recording studio. 
This was mixed to emulate a 1962 stereophonic record.

Produced, arranged and conducted by Bryan H Yoshida
Recorded at Capitol Records

One day I decided to throw as many rock cliches into the B52's iconic "Love Shack". If you have nothing better to do, see if you can count the number of rock & pop cliches I've added to this looney version. Me, I'm going to watch the paint peel off of my guitar.
