Bare

This is a picture of Sal at a recording session in the late eighties. He never wore a shirt when he recorded and went everywhere with an extremely tall bass player called Tally. That's him in the background. Sal was a sweater, one of the best in the business, and the control booth as anyone knows is the hot seat so he chose to wear as little as possible. What can I say? It worked. LIsten to this little ditty recorded by the one take wonder Eddie Farce, also know as Pillory Delue, Bryan Billingsley, Scratch Simpson, Wesley Flap and Tom King. In it Eddie bares his heart about blue balls and Sal, knowing there's magic in the room, backs off and lets Art take the floor. I hope you enjoy this as much as I. If you become too emotional, feel free to leave a request in the comment room for Rebecca Fleck:Grief Counsellor at Large. She's always there for you. Take it away Eddie.Gabcast! ewe #8 - Bare

"Sal was a sweater, one of the best in the business"

I just flashed back to Albert Brooks in 'Broadcast News'.

I loved that song. Even though I hate getting emotional it did manage to make me a little sad.


Oh and thank you for the cool picture of Sal Bellini!
