About every two months I get a request for this song from folks that remember the Seeing-Eye Band and our first studio release. This song was our signature song for years. It’s me on guitar and vocals, Jason Peeler on guitar, Greg Beaver on bass and Jeramy Lamanno on drums. Recorded live in Fred Rumfelt’s studio in Marion, NC (fall of ’91?). I had literally been playing guitar for about two months, but I knew how to use the wah wah pedal! My early attempts at vocals are funny too.
Today is a joyous day, Jason Peeler came up and finished all of the drums on our new album “Follow the Feeling”. Now I’ve just got to do my work on guitars, vocals and keyboards and get Chris Singleton and John Kell here to do their parts and we’ll have it done.
Hopefully we can release it by March!
Today’s song takes me back to my elementary school days at Forest Hill. I still think about playing outside and down in the woods. I think I did actually marry a lucky girl in the 2nd grade, luckily we signed a pre-nup.
Welcome to Chris Cates.com. I'm an old school independent artist with lots of albums, songs, solar panels etc. This site tries to encapsulate what it is I've been doing since I played my first professional gig at 13. I post a song of the day occasionally from my somewhat excessive original song catalogue and I'm constantly recording new material when I'm not building solar farms, trying to play golf or tennis or taking care of my new twin girls.
