Track 7 - Gone Fishin' with Andy
Artist picture
The 15th anniversary internet only reissue of "Gone Fishin with Andy" includes all of the tracks from the original cassette only (approximately 100 made and distributed) album issued in 1994 by Andy Turits who then became "the artist currently known as &y" and is now planet andy. Also included here are 3 previously unreleased bonus tracks and 2 previously unreleased music videos. The original cassette art was designed by Lyndon Lorenz. We bought a couple of fish from the seafood store and Lyndon shot a roll of film out on the fire escape of our building in Hoboken, NJ. David Decampo provided the archived digital master of "People Who Think (version 1)". Michael Thomson helped me rescue the live from the Snowgoose tracks included here as well as my entire set performed that day which was originally recorded on a DAT tape.

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.
