Description
So, I lost a dear friend pet this week...totally a once in a lifetime animal...just a giant cat, that was a lump o love.
2 summers ago i worked really hard on a cd of all acoustic blues material and was virtually finished with it...except i had 2 pieces on it that i wasnt totally sure of, both solo slide guitar things. This is one of them... I had only been playing slide for a month or so, and while I thought I had gotten a pretty good sound on the pieces, the playing was pretty spotty...so the whole cd got shelved, because i never did do the 2 replacement recordings...anyway...as I was working on my slide playing, i noticed that my big fellah seemed to really like the sound of the slide, as he would invariably come into the studio and steal my computer chair, but not to sleep but to kinda watch me...so on this one night we were playing "who's ass gets the chair"...which involves a cat, a human and one chair...and i went to the closet sound booth and improvised this little slide thing. I recorded his purring and put it at the intro...and there it sat...all mixed with no place to go.
Anyway, the playing is even more spotty than i remember, it's actually pretty bad!...but it is one take and it was a really fun night which has always stuck out in my mind because we were having a hell of a time fighting for the chair....i messed with the purring a little...all the original recordings were lost in my big crash...so i couldnt fix anything.
There is one more ancient Bloof recording....i may just find it and post it ...i believe it was recorded before i had GarageBand and was working with the free version of protools....
to all the animal lovers out there!!!!
