Treasured memories for sure. That is so f'in cool. I met JT very briefly once, and it was an awesome experience. I put this together back when people still read. Ha ha!

Meeting JT!

That was a great read @zuma! What a great experience!

Thank You! I think I'll make a video about that experience sometime soon. There is a video out there where he actually references the Shadow on Your Side thing. I have to gather my sources.

Oh man that would be a fun watch...come to think of it I wonder if I've seen it before?

If I can find it, I archived something from My Space (yes, THAT long ago!) where he mentioned it. Much later, he talked about it with a fella named Blair something. ... FOUND IT. It was interview with Eric Blair.

Eric Blair(Blairing Out)has been way ahead of the pack with doing these kinds of interviews, dating back to community access cable channel shows…

Nice! I'll check all of those out when I get back from this pesky job of mine.

It’s a rabbit hole, plenty of YT videos with a variety of people. Here’s a profile of Eric, although it’s eight years old…

I would have liked to see that! Let us know once you getting it re-worked and uploaded.

Though I have already shared it with you offline @tindrum , I wanted to post my bass cover here so that I can say I kept my word.

I also want to keep @CathalSquierCVJ inspired and show him one of JT's influences. Most notably on display here are Mick Karn's crazy note choices, a trait JT certainly inherited. Note: I've created a pretty crazy mix here. I had to keep the "original" song elements to a minimum. I used a real drummer, drum machine, and choice samples. Otherwise, it kept getting blocked! I encourage you to listen to the original (cover) as well, also linked below.
