[78-L] I am definitely in the wrong business

[David Lennick]

Yeah, I think Lord is wrong about the single Swinging Shepherd Blues having 
been recorded in New York a year after the album, although you'd think Tom Lord 
being Canadian wouldn't trip over that one. Moe once told me he was in the 
studio when they edited the track to make the single and he walked over to Ed 
Bickert with a tangled ball of tape and said "Here's your solo."
