25. That is a BIG help

I haven't been in the studio with TFT in ten years. Even the tracks I'm on, my part was sometimes recorded in a studio here in Germany and mixed with the rest back in Atlanta.

One time, I got a request from The Guardian in England to do a satirical track about one of their politicians. I had to look up the guy, since I had never heard of him. But I found him, grabbed an old 12 string track I had laid down in Atlanta, had it sent over to a studio here, added some vocals here in Germany (trying my best to sound like a pub full of drunken British sailors), sent it back to Atlanta, where they added some more string tracks and a concertina. Atlanta mixed it, and sent it over to the Guardian, and they did a primitive video to it. We were able to track it, and it turned out that 90% of the British parliament saw it. My friends in the UK saw it, and said they couldn't stop singing it for a year. This guy must have been REALLY unpopular! LOL.

Unfortunately, the guy finally died, and the Guardian took it off their website. Otherwise, I could have sent you a link.

I'm game ... :-) Gorhamtowne Sep 2023 #1
