Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Our second encounter with Jonny Fritz was one of those times.
Jonny was recovering from a fall and burdened with a neck brace. We had no AC and our location was very unforgiving in terms of temperatures. To say that it was uncomfortable in The Van that day would be a gross understatement. So we did what we could to accommodate as best that we could. Sadly, our best at the time was a pack of hot dog buns that Jonny could use as a pillow, beer and liquor and Oreo cookies. None of those things did a damn lick of good as far as the heat was concerned, but thanks to Jonny and his band being troopers they did play a role in crafting a very special set of videos.
We don’t have anything in our catalog that looks like these videos. A man lying on the floor of a van with his head on hot dog buns singing into a mic with all he’s got. It may sound silly, but it’s actually quite perfect. Had things gone as they should have well we may have had a very nice session indeed, but we wouldn’t have had this session, and we really like this one. Goes to show that it don’t matter how you make the music, so long as you make it.
PS. Jonny, we got a new AC a couple weeks ago, we’ll show it to you next time.
