This is a collaboration with my friend Ritchie. It was recorded in a studio where I was working
as a session musician... The story is rather long, and I won't bore you with it now...

We had some free time and all the equipement, so we decided to jam...!!!

He was the most naturally gifted musician I have ever known. I say was, because, sadly
he died shortly after this...

It was a bitter winter in New York. Late 1980's. We started messing' around, me on guitar,
he on bass. Later both on keyboards... He played nearly all drums, except for the last
few seconds, which I later filled in electronically...

Listen for the wicked bass solo he does about 2/3 into the song...!!!

It's unbelievable how creative you can be when you have someone that pushes you,
and believes in you...!!!



TURN IT UP!!!!

That's some magical music Ben!!!

Wow - you were flying there and so was Ritchie. I'm so, so sorry he died way too soon....

We all have so much in us that we don't know is there until we're challenged to produce it.

Wonderful!

Shweeet.

Wow! That was impressive. Sorry to hear about you losing your jamming friend. In the 80s, huh? You've been at this a long time Nocat! It shows in your playing, that's for sure.

That's sad about your friend Ben, but what a great way to remember him. Great stuff

[Rockerbob]

Cool stuff!

[macmoondoggie]

Very cool stuff!

Fanastic playing once more Ben

That doesn't sound like a jam Ben. It sounds really professional. That would sound great in a film soundtrack (that's meant as a compliment). Really dynamic and has lots of intensity about it. Good job, it's a shame you two didn't get a chance to work more together.

[joe_strummer]

Some neat playing by both of you on the mix Ben, excellent sound

[seagull]

Fantastic, cool sound Ben

[cshude]

That's some good stuff, there. And you're right about the killer bass solo. Sorry he's not around any longer.

Sorry bout your bud Ben. That is an awsome groove he has going there. That is cool thing about live recordings it puts him back in the present!
