so... I recently listened back to High Noon (my album) and realized, there are a lot of fun stories and memories that came flooding back when I listened to it. I decided I would share some of them with you here, assuming that your interested enough to like my page, hopefully this will be interesting to you. And please feel free to post any memories or questions you may have as I leave these posts. I will do it one song at a time, starting with the first Airplane So I wrote this song originally in 2006 I believe. I was pretty much obsessed with Johnny Cash at the time, and I wanted to write/sing like he did. There may be some of you that remember or even still have the original recording. There have been officially 3 versions of this song done. The original, a version I released on a precursor album entitled Mid-Fi, and the actual album version. The original was done on the family iMac with the pinhole mic. After completing most of it, I had decided to bring in some back up vocalists to help make it what it is. My little brothers Richard and Robert. Upon adding the backups, it became something so much more interesting. It gave it such a fun feeling. The second version just kind of came out of no where and was a lot faster. When approaching the recording of the song for the album, I wanted it to retain the feeling of the original one we had done and also pump it up a little bit; thus the breakdown at the end with the saloon-like vocals and unkempt melodies from the banjo and harmonica. On the album version, I actually originally had recorded drums for it! (Im not a drummer) I did so using brushes instead of sticks, but blessed be, Creed Haymmond jumped in with his radical drum style and made it even more fun. Joey Brown laid the bass tracks and gratefully so. This was one of the more prominent tracks on the album and needed to be tight and crisp, nether of the which had I acquired on the bass at that point. So, gratefully it turned into what it is, and still to this day, puts a smile on my face every time I hear it.
