Sometimes I write songs on guitar, sometimes on piano. It depends on my mood. I had just purchased a Roland electric piano that produced some great sounds and while experimenting with them I came up with Blackjack Woman. The Blackjack Woman premise was purely a figment of my imagination. I was never much of a gambler but if I had been I couldn’t think of a better scenario then where the beautiful woman dealing Blackjack decides to come up to my hotel room with me. What happens after that is left up to the listener to imagine . . .

The recording features the SF Bay Area legend Mark Wilson on electric guitar. He absolutely shredded his part elevating the song from nice to WOW! To get his Strat sounding so crunchy and full we stayed up until the wee hours trying different settings until I was happy with the sound. Then we stayed up even later to make sure Mark W. was happy. Mark has the rare gift of being both spontaneous and a perfectionist. It shows up on every track he recorded on this album.
