“IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR”

“I used to produce videos for Bands”
I was just a “for hire” guy for studios in Cleveland and Akron. Lots of demos. Almost all, well really all,,,, failures. I often worked with the late Tom King, who wrote “Time Won’t Let Me” for his band The Outsiders. Because of that hit, record companies would always listen to the stuff he brought in. One of my songs got as far as Randy Travis’s living room. His guitar player called to ask; “Just what the heck chords are you playing?” But,,,, it didn’t make the cut,,,,, Too bad! He could have used the profits to pay his bail!
:)Hard to break into commercial.We were doing a TV show and one week before we were to have the Backstreet Boys on-up and coming group. their video became an instant hit so end of that :)

Wooohooo end of thread.If we missed you ((((Hugs))))Thanks to all the special posters who were helping.Favorite song of the thread.”Ode to Billy Joe”
You seem to understand this quite well. I was just a hired hand, in virtually all sessions. I did what the producer or artist wanted. Seldom was my own real creativity involved. They wanted what they wanted, and they paid for what they wanted. Only once, in all those sessions, was I asked to do a second take. I wish Tommy Sche’ would post more of the songs I played on, because he was the only one who really gave me a free hand.
As I was waking up this morning in bed, I thought, “how could I have not remembered ‘America’ by Simon and Garfunkle.” I was surprised this even came to mind. I played it on the piano as a teen-ager and it was one of my favorites.
“And we walked off to look for America....”
It seems so appropriate for where we are.
Yeah, I was naughty - life under pressure, needed some venting. That song is a great release when you feel life’s applecart is tipping over. Real Vengeance is for God.
