Lee is a monstrous trumpet player. He plays with Booty & the Kidd in Columbus, but I think I met him through Dan’s OSU music school connections. He killed everything he played.
At the end of Lake, there’s a big ol horn outro. Lee’s trumpet signals that with this trill sorta line, perfectly wrapping up everything on the album with this sort of casual triumphant little phrase. I was so happy when I heard it in the studio. I think my favorite part of the entire project was working with Lee and the horn guys in the OSU studio, jumping up and down, yelling encouragement, terribly excited for what they would do in the next take.
Thanks so much for lending your time and talent, and giving me something to jump up and down and shout about.
