http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x14OohXvb3s&feature=youtu.be
2 full sets from the OT's with Earl singing his heart out ! This was an informal gig at our home ground - Years before we played here every Sunday for ages then every other Sunday for a while...This among other gigs was the making of The O T Band...Earl Gwyn and I had played music together for nearly 40 years !..
We were really jamming here...that's why I enjoy it ! You can't rehearse those moments...we got the dynamics right...Glen on Drums is just in the moment...and outstanding...and the Bassman Gwyn is a joy with his busy melodic inventions...from school we were a team...Salt and Pepper !...Andy on tenor sax really made this an R&B band that was a band of brothers...And we laughed !
...A one-off return gig...Yeah there's some dodgy moments..LOL ! But these guys are just great...I just kept calm and shook my head !
The original songs are the opening instrumental 'O T Blues' , the last track of the first set 'She's So Sweet (Bluesette)' and song 2 of the second set 'Borderline'.
And Eddie 'Knock On Wood' Floyd said ...'...make sure you keep that drummer !' ...and luckily we did !
