zoom daddy Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
my pal, Jasooon, emailed me this question and agreed to share it here at the DAMB:

"Any particular remembrances of the Zoom Daddy sessions that you care to share? How long did the entire song writing process take..."

zoomdaddy was an oddball. terry usually comes in with a bunch of stuff prepared but on zoom daddy, he didn't. none of us had anything. and for some reason, only dave raven, terry and i were able to make it for the initial recording session.

anyway, we setup (just the three of us) and just started playing and fooling around and gene rolled tape and we just got into some sort of strange thing where we couldn't stop and we went as fast as we could, laying down basic tracks with dave's drums, bass, and terry's guitar. (terry doesn't think of himself as a guitar player, but he really is.)

what happened is that dave raven trully FUELLED the whole thing. dave and i had played together a lot and you just get into a thing where you know where each other is going.

dave would just start playing a beat, and i would pick a key and just start playing a bass line and trying to play what it felt like, and then, terry played these really great guitar parts.

the song "zoom daddy" was one of the first tracks, in fact i'm pretty sure it was THE first track. terry spontaneously started singing "zoom daddy zoom zoom daddy zoom daddy daddy" and i started laughing and he just kept going.

"zoom daddy" was the first song we completed because terry had to have a rough mix of it done for the record company to play at some christian booksellers convention or something. (it was really funny to me, picturing all these staight-laced types standing around and hearing Zoom daddy for the first time.)

since we had to have it done, and there was no greg or jerry around at the moment, i played guitar on it. terry played the main, descending guitar part (over the "zoom daddys") and i came in on "i believe all you've said.." and played everything else. (in fact, any time you hear an over-distorted, noisy bunch of guitar nonsense on a da or eddies song, there's a good chance that it's me playing, and if you hear an actual musical guitar part that actually sounds good, it'll be either greg or jerry or terry.)

but that's how zoom daddy came to be. it just sort of happened. and terry, of course, did his usual thing with lyrics and melody.

Good story, Tim! Now maybe you can explain why Berger didn't play on this one? Confused

Big Grin

P.S. I will definitely participate in "Zoom Daddy Day"!

I'm game. I've been on a week of Motorcycle. It's time for a change.

Let's join hands and sing:

"Time for, a cool change, it's time for a cool, cool change." (trivia, who sung that one!)

You can't just spuriously declare today my favorite's album's day, not even 12 hours after finally hearing/meeting my newest hero Mike Roe! It's just WRONG!

Don't make me CHOOSE, dammit! Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying Crying

Zoom Daddy certainly had a looser feel to it, so I'm not surprised how it came together. There are some songs that seem more pre-thought though... So "The Twist" and "Pyro Sets A Wildfire" are products of this jam and record process too?

I've always had a soft spot for "Pyro" (please don't touch it; my skull's still forming)... Every time it starts, I inadvertantly sing "She's a hawwwwn-kee-tawk, a honky-tonk woman!!"
