Thank you.
That's called James and Wes and a little tribute to Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery
saw the album that's by the same name and you can tell it's the original James and Wes
record if you see that they are sharing a hot dog. One guy's eating one side of the hot dog
and the other guy's eating the other side. When they got into the middle I don't know what they
did but they had to work it out you know. It's kind of appropriate for the Hammond orgasm club
you know. All right we're going to try a little bossa nova here and see if it works
and I wrote this in Paris for a very sad young lady that I met in the cafe. She pretended
that she couldn't speak English and wouldn't speak to me for about half an hour but I was
very persistent. It was my first time in Paris and after a while it turned out that she spoke
about five or six languages and but she was sad even with all those languages she was very sad
so I went back to my hotel room and I wrote this little melody and her name is Lydia.
Lydia. So it's called Lydia's tune and I don't know where Lydia is. Lydia's gone but the song
is still here. Oh. She's somewhere maybe she'll see. I was looking for her one moment. Yeah right
she moved she had a lot of books you know took all the books split you know. Okay it goes like this.
The bossa nova bossa nova.
You've got a coming.
You've got a coming.
You've got a coming.
Yeah.
I just knocked myself over man. That was fun. Nice cast. Very nice on the cans man. Very nice.
Should we try a funky tune? Yeah let's see. Can we get a little bit funky?
Yeah that was called Lydia's tune from my first album and we recorded that in the same studio
where John Lennon did his last recordings and that was amazing man because when the cats went
into the toilet they said man John Lennon was in this toilet man. He took a piss right in there
you know and they came back and said that can't believe it you know really gave us a big inspiration
to the music you know because the Beatles were all children of the Beatles you know
everybody a Beatles people over here in Tokyo. No you remember the Beatles right. They're rolling
stones. Yeah well you know we saw them the first time for real on the Ed Sullivan show
and that just blew my mind and they were so good you know and now you can see it on YouTube
and that's still good you know so thank god for YouTube. Speaking of YouTube we've got a lot of
YouTubes because I got a TV show in New York for 34 years on cable TV so if you look me up
I'm Joe is on there and Coey is on there. Funky Bernard Purdy and some other cats.
A lot of saxophone players. Do you have saxophone players coming here sometimes?
Not too many? Yeah I don't think it's a good tenor player you know you have tenor saxophone
he said he was coming in the middle. I'm always looking for a good tenor saxophone
if they have an alto yeah you know we can accept an alto but I prefer the tenor you know why because
a tenor saxophone and the organ is like soup and sandwich oh yeah some people like the soup
and other people like the organ and the guitar you know what day is this is this is this Wednesday
Thursday Thursday yeah so you know what you know what that means
pea soup Thursday is pea soup day you didn't know that I came all the way from San Francisco to tell
you Thursday everybody pea soup pea soup yeah I know where you got that but don't worry I don't
have the pea soup before I come to the gig you know better yeah later guitar and organs like ham
and sausage actually ham and burger
