Ready For Rain

This time the kid gets in touch w/ his inner diva.
Just before the last verse, he sings off mic because he is spinning around mimicking the Sun's motion the way he did when he preformed "Ordinary Star" on stage.
I told him later, "This is a recording," but the kid was in the groove.


Jammin' w/ the kid #5 "Ordinary Star"

1962 in America was a time when anything seemed possible.
And with the July launch of Telstar, the first active communications satellite, the United States was riding the crest of yet another wave of electronic advancement.
Telstar was built in NJ. at Bell Labs and it was the first satellite to send live TV/Fax & Phone calls across the Atlantic.
It's something we take for granted, our ability to speak with anyone anywhere around the world at any time, but it all began with the first Telstar back in 1962.
The idea of a man-made star soaring through space inspired this guy, Joe Meek to write a song about it. Telstar's been covered by a ton of old school bands like the Tornados, the Ventures and the Shadows, and like most of the pop music from that era its quite simple, but there's something about the way this instrumental captures the righteous joy of those times.
I was in the studio tonight & I thought I'd give it a try. All instruments played by yours truely.

Telstar

The Kid is on SoundCloud, too!

The kid wants the full treatment, so I added Bass & Drums.
I still call him the Kid, but he's Mr. Staccato to you!

Telstar re-mix

This past week I filled in for Chris Plante on WMAL and for Geraldo Rivera @ KABC.
Here's my first hour @ KABC 7/9/12

If you awoke to an intruder in the house- and he split- would you hunt him down and tackle him? Let's talk about what a father of 4 did in Costa Mesa....

KABC fill-in

I was listening to him play and I heard it immediately. He had never done it before. It was the first time he played w/ vibrato. I asked him to come into the studio and play me a G major scale.
It's very simple but only the second time he'd ever done it. Not quite as good as witnessing his first steps, but damn close.
Track is about 50 sec.

Jamin' w  the kid 5-5-13
