Song information
This instrumental from 2006 is---as it were---the B Side to “St. Clair’s Defeat,” which seems to have played itself out already.

Although it is primarily an homage to the great and wise Chief, it is also a tip-of-the-hat to two of my favorite musicians from days gone by.

The lead guitar—especially in the solo section—is a deliberate nod to Jimi Hendrix.

The bass playing throughout is a nod to Felix Pappalardi, who was both the producer of the band Cream, and the bass player for the band Mountain.

R.I.P. brothers!

The original file stems were not properly preserved, and so a remix would be rather dicey. I chose instead to take the finished track—such as it is—and send it to Tom Hellstens to see if he could breathe some new life into it.

Once again, deep bows to Tom!

Hope you can enjoy this rather noisy tribute to another victim of manifest destiny…

Be well all!

I'm reading a book of short stories written by indigenous people. If you think about it, we are the invasive species.

Thanks Al,
When I first recorded this late 2006, I burned it onto a CD and took it to a guy at a local music store to get his opinion on the piece. Well... for the next couple weeks he drove all over Salem with the tune blasting from his car. I think he liked it! LOL...
It's much nicer sounding now with Tom's magic touch on the remaster!

Atmosphere check.  
Melody check. 
Style points for stubborn adherence to three piece orchestration.  
(The reservations have bands that sound very similar.)
Weird noises on the ride out check! 
I think you nailed it.

Thanks Daug,
The was one of the last two tunes I did on GarageBand2 in 2006. Used that same pedal effect in both of them. Might revisit it someday!
In 2007 I switched to LE7 until my Mac crashed in 2011. 
When I got my new Mac in 2017 I switched up to Logic Pro OS X. 
Weird as this seems, sometimes I think stuff recorded in LE7 sounds better than stuff recorded in Logic Pro OS X. Can't put my finger on why...
Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the tune my friend!

Hey, thanks a lot Omar! 
Back when I first started writing and recording I Iiked to experiment a bit. 
My experimental pieces didn't always pan out. This is one that turned out pretty good.
And you're right. I DID use a real pedal on that guitar rather than a digital model.
Good ears! Good call!

Great music for a great message. France has been invasive in the past too, specially in Africa.

Thank you Jack,
Weird thing is I had just got this new pedal with some 80 different settings. I stumbled on this particular effect and the tune practically wrote itself. I had the main melody within minutes. As our good friend Vic Holman once said: "Every new toy comes with a new song built right into it." LOL
Glad you like this one bro!

Joyce,
LOL... I never made it to Woodstock I'm afraid. I think was hitch-hiking eastward from AZ to MN when I first heard about it. By then it was about over...
"Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" was the obvious inspiration for that solo though.

Thanks for clocking in on this one guys. 
It was a lot of fun to play and to emulate one of my guitar heroes.
Will we ever truly see the likes of Jimi again? He was so unique...

Dig this definietly.   In the right frame of mind, I could be mentally or spirtually flying through the air with this one.   Everything sounds top notch.
