Story behind the song
PBGB is a project based in Pambula Beach NSW. There's a core of 5 players, but we also have a wider "PBGB family" that at last count, was over 15 players. Some of the music we post is just the core, while other posts include players from the wider family. This is an example of the latter. It was kind of like an online collab without being online. "Big Car - No Shoes" is a song of Neil's, based on some noodling in The Shed around an idea of Pete's. The idea was to keep the words as simple as possible while having a strong impact. We were sitting on a good backing track by Pete and Neil until we had the very good fortune of Jem Savage coming to visit Ken - a regular member. Boy Wonder Jem lifted the whole thing well beyond what we had envisaged with his soprano sax. He also gave our new Fender Rhodes a workout. Some fine tuning by Ken was greatly appreciated! We're beginning to grasp the potential of what we have going with the "PBGB Co-operative" - and we like it! Peter Reid – Concept, Drums Neil Porter - Writer, Vocals, Guitar, Hammond B3, Bass, Co-Producer and Engineer Ken Vatcher - Co-Producer and Percussion Jem Savage - Fabulous solo work on Fhrodo (our beautiful 1971 Fender Rhodes Piano) and Soprano Saxophone. Recorded at The Shed and mixed/mastered at Jiguma Studio in Pambula Beach, NSW Australia
