“Hello music loving Freeks.   About 10 years ago, I began working on my 7th record, ‘Home’.  It was to be the follow up to my record ‘Laugh’.  Unfortunately, the fine folks at SCI Fidelity records informed me that they weren't even close to finished pushing the ‘Laugh’ record to radio stations, and anything else that I would record would have to wait until the plan for ‘Laugh’ was done.  I was bummed…for at least a day.  

Then I got the crazy idea to do a remix of ‘Laugh’.  The label agreed, and I jumped right into sessions with a mad musical scientist (engineer, producer) named Jeff Covert.   He and I had almost completed ‘Home’ by this time, and watching him work his crazy magic with the computer made me confident that with my ideas and his computer skills, this record could be rad.  

The idea was to extract my favorite samples from the ‘Laugh’ and create new tracks around those samples.  With Dave Watts on drums and Tye North on bass, being the total badasses that they are, it was easy to find samples.  I had more than enough.  The creative process was a blast.  

The end result was a record called ‘Dance’ that I am extremely proud of and even more proud to re-release it as I originally intended for it to be heard.  The entire record as one continuous track!   And to celebrate 10 years of its existence, I am ecstatic to announce that for a very short time, you can have it…for FREE!  After that, the one track download will continue to be an option along side the cd and single track downloads at the discounted price of $6.99.  A HUGE thank you goes to SCI Fidelity Records for allowing this to happen.   

Now excuse me while I shut up and DANCE.  Please enjoy.   KW. “

W. or D.S. (Williams, bass. Droll, guitar. Sipe, drums). 
Recorded March 2010 at the Orange Peel in Asheville, North Carolina. 

"People Watching" appears on the Dream record as well as the Sight dvd. It also appears on my YouTube channel with Keith Moseley on bass recorded in ‘07 at the Georgia Theater. Jeff Sipe plays on the studio version (Dream) along with Bela Fleck on banjo and Victor Wooten on bass. This version has me on my hofner bass in a 3-piece setting. It contains build-ups and breakdowns all during the improvisational parts. Gibb and I play some unique, unrehearsed musical patterns that could not easily be repeated unless of course we wrote down the notes as we listened to this version. But that's no fun. We'd rather just make it up as go along. I discovered the actual sport of people watching in my late teens at those good ole' Grateful Dead shows. There were always lots of people to watch. Later on, I began watching people from stage. That's where this song came from. Please enjoy.

Blind happiness. I spent a couple of great days with The Travelin McCourys.  This picture was taken at Ronnie's place.   Check out this version of The Felice Brothers "Lincoln Continental" we worked up and recorded on Jason Carter's cell phone. 

Please enjoy. I did.   Kw

Please enjoy this Keller & The Keels version of the Mother Hips song 'Stunt Double'.  "Later Days" by the Mother Hips is in my top 5 of desert island records. In my humble opinion, they don't play as much as they should.
