I love the tone of that Telecaster, Rick. Great song. Vocals hit just right, Kendell. Nice performance, Second Breakfast: Rick, Kendell, Chip, and Doug.
Ah, the '70s and the Bahai'i religion. 🙄😉 Loved the opening/signature riff on the Tele, Rick. It had just the right amount of bite and grit. I looked to see if I could tell what pickup configuration you were playing through, and noticed what looked like a white tip from a Strat selector switch instead of a "top hat." My eyes are 70 years old, plus I have cataracts, but was I seeing that right? And were you playing it in middle position? Oh, and BTW, since I'm asking all these questions, are y'all just a 4-piece band now? What happened to Maria? Is she ok?
Hey Larry! 1. You need to explain the Bahai'i reference. I thought we were doing a song about a nice day. 2. Favorite tele. I had a 4 position switch put in so it's hard to see. It's likely the neck pickup which I use most of the time. 4th position is both pickups wired in series. 3. I always rip those tophat switches right off. Strat switch is better for me. 4. Maria is doing well but not playing with us anymore. It's really great to hear from you, brother!
@@RickRomanelli “Summer Breeze” in and of itself isn’t a Bahai’i song, but both Seals & Crofts were members of and apologists for that religion, and this showed in many of their songs: several on the _Summer Breeze_ album, and most of the follow up LP, _Diamond Girl_. Those two albums were released in 1972 & 1973, respectively. I had the _Diamond Girl_ LP, probably in no small part because it was released the year, even the very month, that Beth & I got married. So my comment was not just about “Summer Breeze.” I can’t think of Seals & Crofts without thinking of the religious overtones to so much of their music, and of the way things were in the early ‘70s. About the Tele, I relate. My favorite pickup wiring is with a 4-way switch, I have that on two of my teles. And one of those two has a Strat selector switch tip. The pickups in mine are DiMarzio Twang Kings.
Sounds great 2nd B.
Well done folks 👏 👍
One of my favorites 😊
