DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE
LIVING ROOM LIVE PERFORMANCE FROM
THE ALBUM SIXTEEN FIRST TAKES
COPYRIGHT TOM COLE 2000
In 2007, my friend Carlos Santos, the
popular Brazilian guitarist and singer known as Caji, invited me to
come over and record in his living room in Cave Creek, Arizona. I
brought over my guitar and I did each song in one take and each on one
track; no laying down a guitar track and singing over it. Carlos moved
back to Brazil a few years ago, and to my surprise one day he did some
more audio work on the recordings and emailed the mpg files to me. I
hadn't listened to the songs for some time.
Not
long ago, after playing at a wine bar I was asked if I had a CD. "Who?
Me?" I answered. I went back to my computer and listened to the
recordings and burned this CD and I'd like to say I'm glad to have been
able to save my modest performance for posterity and sale.
Thanks Carlos, my most excellent friend!
