Final solo-"I've Been Calilng scared my son

I was out on the fire escape,many floors up... and it was snowing hard and I was dancing all around that fire escape!My son was inside calling out the window,"Dad you have had to much wine,I am afraid you are going to fall,Dad please come inside.. which changed to "Dad,it really sounds good!Be careful Dad,I need you!"I have got to say you really don't know to much do you?Mike Rodgers was producing the sessions,it was his crib on riverside drive.I had been so restrained and locked up in a box and he said "OK Jimi Hendrix...play it!I did the solo on his fire escape and cut in on every edge on a level equal to the finest Ny/LA session person you could touch.The last little passing notes he pulled out his slide and said "Do this."He was having a ball too!The band became very against him,he was changing our sound which is what I was paying him to do.The band felt this was so important yet they had no idea who they were dealing with.How intense the situation really was.We were a bunch of rubes from tampa in NYC.To record.Yes,we were the talent,We made it happen and Mike was so ready for that.And we stand so deeply indebted to Gary Lefkowith,his session fees ought to have cost us our next four royalty payments.Gary..come on now,I took the band to NYC and Gary and Mike met us before we even checked in.At The Riverside Hotel.
