The trip up to Nashville for the project’s third and fourth studio sessions was fraught with difficulties just getting into town. Then it was stocking up and gearing up and preparing for the sessions that began on a Saturday morning and ended on Sunday evening.
-
- When your back tire is switched for a “donut”…
-
- …your gear ends up loaded out first on the side of the interstate, then by the back of the tire place.
-
- And you end up being ripped off by the M&M machine (one lousy M&M for 25 cents).
-
- Then, back on the interstate, mile after MILE of stop and go traffic.
-
- All because the “rubber neckers” ahead of you wanted to slow down and see this!
-
- FInally, in Nashville, it’s time to stock up: pickles to make one strong!
-
- And then time to rehearse up for the sessions.
-
- Lastly, time to “Burger Up” (12th Ave. East) on the eve of Session 3.
