Yes, I went
deep into the archives for this one...I just
knew we had to have a recording of our take on John Martyn's
"Make No Mistake" (see Mr. Martyn's version below), and guess what? We do! All of the versions in Dave's possession are on cassette (yes- we're old!) and thus difficult to share, so it was a real shot in the dark to see if there was anything in my archives. I was thrilled when I found this take from our Wednesday night residency at
Lilly's. Ah memories...if I could only remember them.
Personnel on this track includes Bob, Dave and myself, as well as Alex Rea on percussion, and this was recorded, I'm guessing, on Alex's portable mini-disc recorder. Folks, this is a live Waystation classic: an obscure cover of an obscure artist, a "cringeworthy introduction" (Dave's words) and overwrought vocals redeemed by fat bass grooving on your face, a swinging, lyrical guitar solo and pure, ethanol-fueled enthusiasm.
The other day, our friend Aimee told me she could
still hear our version of this tune in her head. Well Aimee, I hope this version is as sweet as your memories. Enjoy!
