GREG GARDNER'S
MUSIC FROM THE NORTH SHORE

February 24, 2012 - CJNU

GREG'S INTRO:
Surf's up again and good evening.
This is Music from the North Shore on CJNU Nostalgia Radio.
I'm your host Greg Gardner and I've got the usual . . . or maybe the unusual eclectic mixture of oldies.
We're going to start things off with a Manitoba artist
This is Brandon's own Bill Hillman and his version of the classic APACHE.

APACHE

EXTRO: Bill Hillman -- Thankyou Bill -- that was great . . . excellent version of APACHE and it fits right in with the surf's up concept.



Sue-On and I recorded APACHE -- the number that Greg opened this show with --  in 1971 in the first Century 21 studios on King Edward.
* This was the only session in which we featured a guitar instrumental. I put the solos on the back burner, partly because guitar instrumentals are so exacting, and partly because my dream had been to someday record an entire guitar instrumental album.
* I chose Apache for this, our first guitar solo on a multi-track session, as it was one that I hadn't been able to do well on stage because of our trio instrumentation. But now, in the studio I could overdub all guitar parts: a couple acoustic rhythms (Gibson and a Fender Malibu in Nashville Hi-Bass tuning) and  and two lead parts.
* By this time I had customized my Telecaster by adding a Bigsby, homemade B-Bender and re-wired pickups. I played through a DeArmond volume/tone pedal, into an Echochord tape delay echo unit and through a Fender Twin Reverb amp.
* The arrangement I came up with on this Jerry Lordan instrumental was about three equal parts of Jorgen Ingman and Shadows versions, with my own riffs using the B-bender and volume pedal. The late Barry Forman was on bass and Sue-On and Ted Paley shared the drums/percussion. Uncle Smokey, Larry Clark, added a subtle Hammond fill.
