letter to jodi about bernie
i wrote this to jodi right after meeting some famous people recording at my studio...
hi,
i met some notable people today at the studio. herb alpert, bernie worrell, the percussionist for the talking heads (in stop making sense), and the drummer and bassist for living color. they're recording a record. when i was born, i was cursed with a david byrne look-a-like nerdy thing, and it seems that the talking heads are finding me. this is weird since i've been trying to distance myself from them with my music. i can just see the write-up in rolling stone......."david byrne wannabe puts out a piece of shit..." or something like that. all of these people, less herb, said they'd play on my records for almost nothing. pretty cool, huh? i'll probably use the percussionist and bernie on a song for bunk. it's an egyptian jam piece, and would lend itself to bernie and the percussionist (kevin has his name). i bet if they like the stuff, they'd do a show with me. i'm sure the mentioning of their names in the erno ad will attract more people.
that's it...
love,
tom
