Gone Fishin'
was written in about five minutes one night in '94. I had been
practicing for hours when I few friends came over to jam. By that
time I was so loose I felt like I could play just about anything.
Between songs we were sipping a beer and I just started playing
this tune.
During the recording
of Gone Fishin' I decided a little ambiance might work with
the song. I put a microphone out in the backyard and just then an
ice cream truck passed by. That's what you hear just before the
track begins. I thought "How appropriate!" Surprisingly
enough the ice cream truck's song seems to be in the same key and
tempo as Gone Fishin'!!
