- Rory G. is a seclusionist.
Dick- -I mean - - Richard
O'Connor, our illustrious
producer,Mr. Goodie 2-shoes, went and looked it up in the dictionary.
"Living apart from others..."
- That does
describe Rory. Course, he spends most of his time alone with
his guitars, so we don't mind. He definitely spends more time
practicing than we do. That's how we wrote "I Am Not
From Here." Rory just kept going when we were recording
in the studio. Everybody else had stopped at the end of the song,
but Rory just kept on going- -as if we were all still playing
along- -just kept playing. It was awesome. We just sat quiet
until he finished recording the entire basic track, the slide
guitar of, what came to be "I Am Not From Here
- That's what
it's like when we get together as American Zen. We all just mesh without
effort. We inspire and support each other. If only we could record
all our JAM SESSIONS. They pop out no matter where we are. Some
of our songs have been written that way. Someone will just happen
to have a tape recorder going for evaluating or remembering musical
arrangements and we'll accidentally record a spontaneous jam
song- - it's amazing. You listen to the tape later and we're
tagging each other as if we'd rehearsed the song a hundred times.
I really like working with these guys, it doesn't get better
than this.
- I wonder what
Rory is going to write about me?

Sincerely,
