| These first four songs are from a series of live recordings from my band in Atlanta, "Jungle Jim And The Swingsets". As each band member has moved on to different cities and different lives, the only thing left are a few recordings and a lot of great memories! |
| Ya Ya's Cajun Cuisine was the restaurant where we had the house band gig for a while. Rick Thomas played bass and doubled on tuba, Evan Frayer played guitar, squeezebox, washboard and sang, Bob Rice played drums and Mike Kirk played guitar. It was great. I could walk the two blocks from my house to the restaurant for my Friday and Saturday night gigs. I remember being able to run home at the stroke of midnight on New Years to kiss Lynne and the girls, then run back and play out the evening! I wrote the above song, Ya Ya Boogie, while we were playing there. |
| This is Evan Frayer singing All I Can Give You Is Me. I'm playing slide trumpet and piano |
| Evan again with Don't Mess With My Toot Toot I'd be the one playing the horn! |
| In case you're wondering, the indicipherable lyric in this recording of Ain't She Sweet? should be "Pretty baby, ain't that perfection" |
| Tears Fall From Heaven was written a little while after 9/11. I was working on a construction site at Tybee Island when the planes hit. I remember two things; the feeling of anger from all the guys on the job site, and the rain that came later in the day that fell on my face washing away the tears. |
