Track 7 - Gone Fishin' with Andy
Story behind the song
Also a cover version written by Bill Nelson when he fronted Be Bop Deluxe. Bill has a solo catalog of LPs and CDs well into the triple digits. A shimmery guitar figure leads us into reluctant time traveler's world. This was recorded I think in 91 or 92 prior to my acquisition of the EPS. A Casio CZ 3000 triggered the keyboard generated bass and drums from a Roland MT32. Sequenced on an Alesis MMT8 MIDI recorder. This rhythm bed was stereo mixed to the Fostex R8 where guitars and vocals were added. As GFWA was taking shape it occurred to me that LITAA would be perfect to set up the trilogy of songs that followed in sequence. Bill Nelson was personally given a copy of GFWA by me and so he is aware of this version though I did not request or receive explicit permission to use it here. Nelson is a stylistic chameleon who continues to inspire with his creativity. To learn more about Bill Nelson visit www.billnelson.com.
