Nice to Know – V1 with Real Band

Artist: Joe DiDomenico

Original cut – I wrote this song in about 10 minutes while taking the trash cans to the street. It was a long walk to the end of our driveway. Lots of crunch on the guitar in a punk rock style. That’s a $5 set of bongo drums you’re hearing. I made several drum tracks, all using the bongos and layered on top of each other. Each one had to be played from start to finish in one take. And, it was recorded by micing my Crate amp with a SM 57 in my living room. Kinda nasty.

Cool story. I sent Brian Ray, Paul McCartney’s guitar player, my entire Down on the Farm tracks online soon after I recorded it. He actually responded and said he liked this song! I never heard from him again and that’s ok with me. He made my day and I’m still mentioning it today! Thanks Brian!
