Also nice. Liked horn opening- like a quick opening guitar riff to draw you in but a horn riff instead.

There was a strings, I believe they were a trio of women, who used to play locally...can't remember the name

8/11/21, 11:18 AM

Ray

Ray Galindo

Does anyone remember?

Mick

Mick Oakleaf

I know 2 violinists, Susan Mitchell and Liz Taub. I don't remember he trio.

Alan

Alan Rand

Don't remember Trio either but can agree with Mick on Susan and Liz. Susan also does cello.

Ray Galindo

It will come back to me. I saw them at Wetlands sometime in the 90's

8/11/21, 11:56 AM

Ray Galindo

I think they were named after a plant

Ask Rew … she had three renaissance ladies on one day …

Rasputina???

That's them!

Ray Galindo

Thank you!

Ray

i'm trying to find them. I don't think they're together anymore

I knows you were talking about Rasputina but I couldn’t remember the name of the band.

They were fantastic!!

I need some advice, so I'm putting it up for a vote. Should we put some horns on Fresh Boy?

8/12/21, 11:21 AM

Rew

If you hear them in your head sure

Rew

Rew Starr

Why not it has everything else!!!

8/12/21, 11:37 AM

Alan

Alan Rand

Just have to be careful where you place it and use as accent. One of the nice things about this song is it has a high percentage of vocal vs instrument only. The one longer instrumental is the really nice harmonica solo in middle.

8/12/21, 12:09 PM

Mick

Mick Oakleaf

Yes, I agree with Alan.

8/12/21, 2:09 PM

Donald

Donald Sztabnik

'Fresh Boy' ... is pure 'Hot Rod' !!! ... the vocals( lead and back up) and guitars are great as is...

Anne

Anne Husick

I also agree with Alan. There’s already a lot going on but a nice accent here and there might sound great.

Alan

Alan Rand

Go a bit with both Don and Anne. Years ago when I was working with sax player Buddy Bowzer, we decided a couple of songs were guitar songs and should not have sax. Wouldn't mind carefully placed horn accents though. Hysterically from Don's comment, one of those "guitar" songs was "Jump Into My Hot Rod".

It looks like no one has taken the name, Vaccine Zombies yet

Alan

Alan Rand

Song and video from a decade ago and term was associated with anti-vax movement long before covid.

8/16/21, 12:00 PM

Ray

Ray Galindo

Which is the better opener? Fresh Boy or A Little Crazy

8/16/21, 7:23 PM

Mick

Mick Oakleaf

Very close call. Would make an excellent single! I'm leaning towards Fresh Boy.

Good morning, I have a session with Stefan, the pianist today. There is one more session with the girls next week  and then the mixing begins. The session with Mac was awesome. I can't seem to get in touch with Seaton, and I need him for one more session before this wraps up. Will someone please tell him to call me? Thanks.
