had this beach house, it was heaven for a hog If
you knew the Lily Way shuffle you knew your
way, When
the sun set on Felton's Place, Learning his craft from Dallas Dobro and some of the other great radio pioneers at KFAT and KPIG, Felton
Pruitt was one of the early radio broadcasting participants of Americana
music. This song is about where he
lived the FAT Music life for over 12 years (with
his dog “Bounder”) - at a rustic rural
beach house on a 2 acre bluff overlooking the
Pacific ocean in Northern California. Twice a year,
for many years, while Felton was doing his work at
the Strawberry Music Festival, I was the designated
house/dog sitter for a week at a time. I did a lot
of songwriting there and the
players I got to play with on this song had all
been to Felton’s Place at one time or another.
My good friend Bill Laymon (bass) actually did the Felton’s
Place house sitting gig at one point and Norton
Buffalo who has played harp at the 'cliff' at Felton’s Place turned in some of his best work ever on this song!
Other friends Jim Lewin (guitar)
and Jim Norris (drums) provided flawless
performances. Of course Larry Hosford’s cameo
appearance with a harmony vocal was icing on the
cake. It
was fun to put this together and a real surprise
for Felton, one of the folks who encouraged me to
put my music out back in the beginning. --
