Released this 2 years ago today with @larrygoldings and @sterloid ! Gilbert O’Sullivan is one of my favorite songwriters ever. Song is called “Alone Again (Naturally)” - full vid on YouTube @gilbertosull_
I have loved this song by @joepisapia for many many years and finally got it under my fingers due to this recent surge in free time. it’s called “daydreams II” go check it out joe is a madman!
it’s this special guys birthday today. which is a great occasion to tell you about the song we made together that’s coming out on Friday @scarrisonwhitford
learning this #GregLeisz solo for daddy’s very first pedal steel gig at the @beatrixkasnetz show this friday!!! excuse my flub i’ll have it together by the show 🫣
it was impossible to spend time w this man and not love him. he came to my house for a pockets session and as he was holding my arm as i walked him to his car after he said “man if i knew that was gonna be so fun i wouldn’t have charged you so much!”
i still can’t believe he agreed to play the role of “Rabbi Gadson” for a pockets ad. before the shoot he was telling me about his early days as a doo wop singer before he played drums. he showed me a song he wrote and sang which was actually a minor hit back the called “Loveland” — you gotta go listen to this song it’s amazing. he never got credit or payment for writing the song.
we had dates on the books for him to come tell this story on DeadWax but he had to cancel both times due to health reasons.
i’m so grateful to have crossed paths with this impossibly special soul. his impact on music and beyond will live on forever.
RIP Rabbi Gadson ❤️
