BACK FROM USA

He caught uip with John Marascalco who wrote 'Starlight Starbright', Ready Teddy, Rip it up etc. John gave Lonnie one of the songs he recorded in Nashville. Another song came from his old friend Wayne Jackson of the Memphis Horns who also played on the session. The only Aussie song was by Lil Fi, the talented girl who is Queen of the Blues Festivals and who Lonnie had been featuring on his 2003 shows as support act. Some of the musicians included, Byrd from the Amazing Rythm Aces, Ed Greene the famous LA studio drummer, Randy from Dr Hook, Shania Twain et al. The session was led by tye world's greatest bass player, Bob Babbitt of Motown's legendary Funk Bros.
