two belews
volume 1 number 17
the back story: in 1999 we put together a one-man-show.
with 3 positions onstage: electric guitar in the middle,
acoustic guitar mounted on a stand to one side
and dobro mounted on a stand on the other.
it required a bit of rehearsal to coordinate between myself and ken latchney
who would be mixing the show live.
one day my son udo stopped by the studio during rehearsals
to demonstrate his new korg "electribe" drum machine.
he had programmed his first drum pattern.
immediately upon hearing it I knew it was perfect
for an instrumental piece I was hoping to play in the show.
I named it two belews.
this is from a live one-man-show in Philadelphia in June 1999.
drum machine: udo belew
guitar: adrian
recorded live by ken latchney
in June, 1999

With the little familiarity I have of Udo's talent, I found it interesting when he told me that he doesn't consider himself a musician.
ReplyDeleteHi Udo!
I think Ken's taste was influencing your music around then. Parts of this sound very Residentesque. I like it.
ReplyDeleteOh cool. I was at this show. It was at the New Market Cabaret on 2nd Street. After the show, my friend Zoey and I were in the autograph line. Just before it was our turn to meet you, you got up and got a guitar. It seemed that you had forgotten to play Three of a Perfect Pair during your set, and you played it for the people still hanging out. Right in front of us. It's one of my favorite concert moments.
