Surfer Girl (Wilson)

This tune was an early warm up song: Dave D- Guitar, Tom Cloud-Bass, Marshall Carlson-Drums, Vocas and Lyrics, Jon Mercer- congas.
This jam was another fun Cloudand Improv Jam session, LIVE, from Milwaukee, WI. It was a party in remembrance of our friend Steve Cloud who passed away at the end of the Covid times. It would have been his 70th, so most of us were able to gather again for a jam. First half was the original guys, plus Steve's brother Tom, and the second half we had Antione, Josh and Anthony join us for a bad ass funk jam, as usual. Larry Phillabaum- Host, Guitars, Bass, Drums and Keys, Plus he does the mix both live and recorded and the final edits. This time he added video elements as well which was a great touch. Marshall Carlson- Drums, Keys, Vocals/Lyrics, Ricco Caliendo- Vocals, Lyrics, Dave D- Guitars, Jon Mercer- Congas, Antione Reynolds- Keyboards and later Bass, Anthony Jones- Drums, Josh Cuz- Keys, Drums, Congas. Dave Cloud- Bass.
