Chapters
00:00 - Strat part
02:20 - Firebird part
04:43 - Bass part
07:05 - Firebird part II (money shot)


Notes
Uncle Larry builds a loop part by part for one of his all time favorite Andy Partridge masterpieces that sadly nobody knows…

Give it a minute to develop friends

It’s kind of a slow burn

Two tracks of rhythm , a bass…and then the money shot


“Humble Daisy
Form a chain to hold all battleships in check
Humble Daisy
Knit a ladder down to nature's sunken wreck”

My favorite Andy quote….
“I like chords with a bit of dissonance and pungency, they’re not afraid to kick their legs out and let you know they’re alive”

and…i want to say a very special thank you to a guy named Joe Maggelet for being a totally honest upstanding human being
