about

When Eddy Highway hit the ground, I wouldn’t say they were running. Perhaps they were dip-scooting or deep diving from the low cliffs into the sheer blue creek at sculpture falls. It was right around that time that Chad and Ethan shared the place on Parkside and many a late night was spent on the back porch passing the guitar and swapping stupidities. There was a litany of unusuals who would darken the door and I was one of them. Saturday nights once a month we had a wingding called Greentree. Named after another street sign that was within eyeshot of the patio, it was a showcase of ideas and many a germination and termination of musical partnerships took place there. One of them would later become Eddy Highway. At its core it consisted of Me (Bobby) and Chad, though many an important peripheral player lent their substance to it.
During that formative summer the first tunes were laid down in Chad’s studio nursery. He was the only one of the lot who really had a knack for fidelity, and his production skills were in high demand. At first the material consisted of contributions from fellow songwriters along with some rough fleshings-out of concept songs, but the sound didn’t really congeal until Chad moved to Barton Skyway and the studio was slowly outfitted with lots of magnificent, mostly foolproof and heavy equipment. During that period which seems like summer (in my memory it all seems like summer) we took to arranging and recording many of the songs that had traveled through me throughout the past few years as well as hatching some one-off doozies from thin air.
Sometimes the tracks were a breeze and sometimes playing the parts was challenging, but we took our sweet time and committed them to the listening box. I’m glad we did because that dude doesn’t live here anymore if you know what I mean. It’s still summer though and the cliffs still sit above the sun-dappled creek. Perhaps a bit more traveled and trampled, but there to be climbed none the less.
