My daughter Dawn was the inspiration for this bit of musical satire. When we first
moved to Tampa, I sat down at my recorder one afternoon to work on some music. A
4-year old Dawn walked in and wanted to get involved...she wanted the microphone
and wouldn't take no for an answer. So to distract her, I just started playing a Blues
riff. For some reason, the fact that Dawn didn't like any sauce on her spaghetti came
to mind and Busghetti Blues was born. By the end of the recording, we kicked on the
Echo pedal and the jam ended with a bit of cool craziness. This tune was recorded
in 1984, and the only time I ever played it live onstage was 25 years later in 2009 at
Lulu's in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
