Story behind the song
Donnie's original melody still reminds me of our visit to Scotland. Donny lives in Scotland, I live in the U.S.A. We thought it would be fun to do an original song together from different countries. Donny put down the guitar & drum tracks in Scotland, and had his dad add some sweet old-school button box accordion. Then he sent the tracks to me. I added bass and an extra guitar part on the finale and mixed it all down. "Speyside Memories" is because Donny lived on the River Spey, and we visited him there on our motorcycle ride around Scotland. It is a beautiful area in the northern highlands.
