b"Episode #83: BP Diner\\xa0 \\xa0 (Song starts at 8:38)\\xa0\\nOn this episode I have Mr Paul Dredge (from New Zealand), along with me.\\nWe wrote this song about (surprise) the BP Diner\\u2026it was a petrol and food place, which was opposite a resort I worked at with Paul Dredge. To get the full picture (and more stories), have a look at this blog post from a while back:\\xa0\\xa0The Hazy Line /Wairakei Resort. https://thehazyline.wordpress.com/2020/12/22/the-wairakei-resort-gig/ \\nOne grey rainy morning we were sitting in the hotel room. It was the night after a gig. We decided to write a song, as it was too wet for golf. Paul started strumming and after a short while we came up with BP Diner together.\\xa0\\nThis episode touches on the friendship I have with Paul. Having someone you can really trust is a great - and necessary -\\xa0\\xa0thing, when it comes to co-writing songs.\\nIt's a subtle dance, nudging a feeling into an idea, as you start to give it form, not getting too far ahead, not getting bogged down as you go along.\\xa0\\nPaul and I didn\\u2019t. We were lost in the \\u2018now\\u2019. We really enjoyed bringing the song together that morning.\\nJoin us at Wairakei Resort, as we reminisce on what was a pretty special time.\\nThe recording on this podcast is from the album \\u2018Lost In Time\\u2019 (bandcamp link). It counts as demo, really, by today's standards...it was one of 12 songs recorded and mixed in 2 days. One take for drums, piano and guitar. Then Over dubs ( one take) lead guitar & bass. Then one for vocals recorded at the same time. Great fun and I\\u2019m so pleased with the result. \\nI made a video which you can view on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pZ6bLf2Vc0 ..It was one of my first efforts, actually. You can see some of the scenes we talk about on this episode.\\xa0\\nFor now, sit back and enjoy a relaxed tale of how a song came together and gain some insights into this fascinating process.\\nYou'll also get to hear anecdotes & memories of the musical past of 2 songwriters.\\nEnjoy.\\xa0\\n\\u2018Paul\\u2019s poetic ramblings\\u2019 \\xa0 https://paulspoeticramblings.wordpress.com/author/pfdredge/\\nSlippery Slope - Jazz album (Paul Dredge on Spotify)\\n\\u2018BP Diner\\u2019 Lyrics on\\xa0www.petepascoe.wordpress.com\\nDon't Miss The Bus (piano/vocal album)\\xa0 \\xa0 band camp link\\nwww.petepascoe.com"
