And All That Remains Is The Music

Delivery

The music was written in the 90s with inspiration from late night TV bands especially the tunes GE Smith (former Hall & Oats guitarist) and the SNL band would play going into commercial breaks. Originally it was a jazzy instrumental piece until it was converted into a song about adventures up the Elwha River. Whiskey Bend was a once a trailhead you could drive your car to until the river washed out part of the road, but you can still mountain bike up to the old trailhead. Goblins Gate, Geyser Valley, Hurricane Creek, and Dodger Point Bridge are places I have been to up past Whiskey Bend. The story goes that road workers in the 1930s were offered whiskey if they could complete construction of a section of road by a certain time. The chorus organ that joins in on the third chorus was created to sound like Gregg Allman’s Hammond B3. I picked up a few playing techniques during an Alan Parsons course that featured keyboardist Rami Jaffee of the Foo Fighters. The sax is performed by Grammy winner Fabian Hernandez. Lead vocals are by Greg Van Kerkhof of South Africa.
