about

An instrumental based on a line from The Beach Boys's "California Saga": "Have you ever been down Salinas way where Steinbeck found the valley, and he wrote about the way it was, and his travelings with Charley..." I was blessed to work with a pair of brilliant instrumentalists: Cellist Kim Osterwalder (who played with many artists, notably Flophouse and Buddy & Julie Miller), and trombonist Richard Marriott (Club Foot Orchestra, The Residents). This track was made for an aborted album in 1990. I remixed it in 2003 for SNAPSHOTS.
