Bur, I really missed the punch of the brass section.
Paul was doing it, but he could only use one hand so the low sax & trombone is missing. Trust me, I know the compromises of doing brass with one hand!
We did the Spencer Davis tune in a battle of the bands. We rotated the lead vocal line by line. And we broke down to a jazzy "Spooky" like thing after the second verse & I played a jazz piano thing.
We won everything that year, with this as our big production number. Made $1,800 for 3 songs!
If we got paid at that rate every gig, I'd have retired at 50!
