Now for the rest of the story about how this song changed the trajectory of the album “Highly Irregular”.

The sessions in December 2013 and January 2014 were with the musicians I would come to call The Demolitionists, an incredibly talented group of studio musicians at Custom Taylored Studios; Rick White – electric guitar, Hal Ratliff – piano, Roger Gillespie – drums, and Ernie Nunez – bass. They have played on my other two solo albums Inevitable Discovery 2016 and The View From Here 2017.

Ernie Nunez wasn’t even supposed to play on “I Really Don’t Miss You At All”, but his bass line changed the whole feel of the song. He gave it a Cajun feel and that meant we needed a fiddler.

Keith Taylor, the engineer and studio owner, said, “I know of a pretty good fiddler but I don’t know if you’ll want to use him.” That fiddler was Byron Berline, an old friend of Keith’s.

Keith called Byron and put me on the phone with him. At this point, we only had one song for him to play on. Byron said we should send him at least three or more. That’s all it took. I had to write more songs that we could use Byron Berline on. So I wrote four more songs.
