“Makin’ Whoppee”
Guitar and vocal-Reynold
Acoustic bass-Matt Senjem
Flute parts-Al Asmus
Recorded by Stymie Seamans
I’m not keen on recording “cover” tunes but I am currently reviewing a few I did record in the past.
Looking back, this recording succeeds because I wanted to do an exercise in absolute minimalism. It’s straight guitar and acoustic bass with vocal (all live) with a two flute overdub.
As minimalistic as it is, I feel good about the overall arrangement. The “Mancini Be-Bop” flute parts worked exactly as I heard them in my mind and that rarely happens. The lyric might seem dated to some but is, I think, quite sophisticated and humorous
Stay safe.
Be kind.
Love,
Reyn
