The last time I recorded
with Nick D'Virgilio was back in '95 for the Yes tribute album Tales
From Yesterday, done with Keneally
and the late great Kevin Gilbert at his famed Lawnmower Studio in
Pasadena. Same place, some of the same folks, but with a BFD vibe
considering the presence of new Dolphin Nick and veteran Dolphin
Rick Musallam. That Nick sure can sing, can't he?
Two things worth mentioning: I'd always sworn
I'd never use that clichéd Jaco-ish "bridge pickup"
sound for anything
but damn it, it sounds so good on the Mike
Lull Custom that I couldn't resist, so "Dream In Red"
is a first for me. Regarding the Danelectro, I used it under duress.
Oh, OK, it's the right sound for the tune, but I've never played
anything that felt so awful.
