about

My fourth song ever, written in 1983. I wanted to write a funky “jam” tune. The melody is simple, essential; and serves merely as a vehicle to get to the solo sections. The progression is fun to play over, apparently. I had the Phoenix Horns playing in my head. Thank heavens for Kevin Clark of Bayside Horns, who took my rudimentary ideas and turned them into genius. These guys are big time. Kevin and Matt both have kickass solos (I do LOVE a killer baritone sax solo, it’s such an expressive and bombastic instrument, what a flavor!), and Dan O’Hara really brings the house down with his ripping organ solo.

The title comes from when I was writing the tune, someone yelled out "Hey, Phil, what's your next song about?". Someone has a much better story, I wish it were the truth; they thought it was an analogue to the Australian tradition of the walkabout. "Where's Phil?" "Oh, he's off on Songabout..."
