Pablo, the Spanish conqueror
You know we're going to have to put this song, Pablo, together the way he would do it. We'll take...instead of old bricks, we'll take sounds, like Pablo fetches a bottle or a stone from the ditch like a beggar, we'll collect all the thrown away sounds. Well use them to create a symphony. I'm going to loop the crickets we recorded at his house. And perhaps we should, instead of using horns or any other conventional instruments, we should use the towboat whistle we recorded. I can change the pitch and we can play it like a keyboard on different tracks to make chords. We could even do that with the sound of Pablo's horse. It's only fitting that we figure out how to finish our tribute to him using only the sounds that are out there, lying around collecting dust, nobody much cares about. Jeff

The sounds of Pablo's farm that day inspired us to no end! The goats, horses, chickens, birds, Roosters..And Pablo's passion for his art. He uses the red clay soil we grew up in to make the finest pottery. Our songs must be adorned with the sounds we have "dug" out of the ground as Pablo dug every brick out of the ground for his Kiln. As we drove back to Nashville that Sunday, the song formed among us as we drove down the road.."Be like Pablo, be like Pablo, be like Pablo YEA!" This is going to be a blast to create together. Can't wait to play it for Pablo! --Keith
