Pete had a lollipop in his mouth while doing this percussion and at one point took the lollipop out of his mouth(at 1:21)and hit something that was near by.

Point of interest:  I recorded this solo while sitting in a very dimly lit studio (only a small lamp was on, sitting off to the side of the control board).  It was almost dark but it created an awesome vibe.   I did it in one take.

Our Prayer

POINT OF INTEREST:  All of these tunes (except "Our Prayer")in this collection were completely improvised...no charts...no nothing, just improvised in the moment.  All of this just proves that you can play anything at anytime and some how our minds can find a golden thread through it all.  Avant-garde music clearly demonstrates this reality.

It was such a pleasure for me to work with Bill Druck on this project.  Bill is such a master guitarist and quite comfortable with the avant-garde.
