and the record session is Nashville produced some greats cuts
due for release in early 2004.

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.
