Guest Musician Stephen Bruton's writings

[mg]

AS you know, one of the guests in Featcamp this year was the fabulous Mr. Bruton. On his site he writes "THEN, I WENT TO JAMAICA FOR 6 DAYS WITH LITTLE FEAT! YEAH,YEAH, I KNOW, POOR, POOR PITIFALL ME... IWAS ASKED BY THE FEAT TO BE ONE OF TWO SPECIAL GUESTS,(THE OTHER WAS THE AMAZING COCO MONTOYA). THE FEAT HAVE A RETRAT GETAWAY FOR THEIR FAN CLUB AND FRIENDS ON NEGRIL, JAMAICA. IT'S MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE (delbert mcclinton-editor)CRUISE. EVERYONE SHOWS UP AT THE RESORT AND CHECKS IN THEN EVERYTHING AT THE RESORT IS OPEN TO THE GUESTS AND THE FEAT PUT ON VARIOUS FUNCTIONS VARYING FROM ACOUSTIC CONCERTS, DRUM WORKSHOPS AND FULL BLOWN CONCERTS ON THE BEACH AT NIGHT. IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE FRO ME AS THE FEAT HAVE BEEN MY FAVORITE AMERICAN BAND SINCE THEIR FIRST ALBUM. WHEN I HEARD, "SNAKES ON EVERYTHING" I KNEW I HAD FOUND A GROUP OF KINDRED SPIRITS. IT GOT BETTER FROM THERE. AS THE COSMIC EVENTS WOULD HAVE IT, I WOUND UP WORKING ON LOWELL GEORGE'S SOLO ALBUM IN THE LATE 70'S. IT STILL IS A BIG FEATHER IN MY BONNETT. THEN OVER THE YEARS SINCE WE'VE ALL BECOE GOOD FRIENDS. I WROTE A SONG WITH BILL PAYNE FOR THEIR LAST CD AND HE RETURNED THE FAVOR FOR MY NEXT. I HOPE MY COLLABORATION WITH THEM GOES ON FOR A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME. GREAT BAND, GREAT FRIENDS AND INSPIRATIONAL PLAYING. BY THE WAY, LITTLE FEATS' KEYBOARDIST, BILL PAYNE, HAS RELEASED HIS FIRST CD,CIELO NORTE, AND IT'S A MUST HAVE! HOY,HOY..."


Thought you who have not seen him play with feat either here in Texas or Jamaica would enjoy seeing him. His last CD "SPIRIT WORLD" is one of my favorites of all time. He has a song called Acre of Snakes on it about a female fan, i imagine that must be the snake reference; I swannee, no towels here!
TQ

I wonder which female fan that might be, hmmm?

Hankus is curious, isn't he? That's a good thing, intellectual curiosity. Hank has seen SB with the Feat, at least 3 times that I know.
Fortunately, there's no shortage of suspects: any one of the numerous female fans at the Saxon Pub on a Sunday night in Austin might fit the description for the Acre of Snakes song!
