Driving funky rhythm section contrasted with the smoothness and mellowness of the clarinet. This piece was an improvisational jam.

Art chasing sound.
The band is me. I have been a musician since age 7 (i'm 44 now), and that's pretty much all I did. By age 32 I was working in an average of 6 bands at a time and still practicing 36 hours a week. That's when I got nerve damage in both my arms and couldn't use them for 5 years...not for eating, lifting, playing...anything. 2 surgeries and 3 more years recoup, and I am back in short bursts. I write and track everything in 1 take as I can't play for long. Guitar is my main instrument (studied it the most), but have been playing drums and bass since age 10, and have actually worked the most as a drummer. I can't really use my left arm much so i drum with my fingers. It gives it a unique sound. (Don't worry, it's not wimpy... I can still break sticks!)

Story behind the song
My cousin, Georg Reiss, who is a Norwegian clarinetist by profession came to Southern California to visit his family. I met him once in 1976, but I feel that I have known him from listening to all of his CDs over the years. Our family got together at our house which happens to have a recording studio. My brother, David Reiss, who is also a musician called out the changes as we jammed. I overdubbed the drum track and David did his tambourine magic and that is pretty much a wrap. Good times!
