_ Hey friends, I'm Otis Gibbs and this is my buddy Dan Baird.
He's gonna talk about how the Georgia Satellites
Classic keep your hands to yourself
Changed his life forever.
I was riding home from my surveying job on the bus
which I did five days a week _ and
played a bunch at night and
Was very tired at my survey job a whole lot
But I was fall asleep on the ride home or go into that coma state that you do when you're riding public
Transportation.
Yeah, whether it be an airplane you just go into that
semi-conscious state and I had bought a bunch of things from I think I've had three coffees from the
What they call them as a roach coach, you know deliver food, you know
But it was okay coffee and it was right there and
I'd always hand them bills and they'd you know
It was always a buck and a quarter or buck 15 or whatever and cram the change and cram the change and third time
you know and got on the bus and you know paid with the coins _ and
as I'm I get settled in _
Got a window seat
_ _ kind of lay my head up there and kind of cruising along and
Got a little change in my pocket jingling
_ Colleen _ it just started coming out. _ _
I got the first verse and a half
I have nothing to write with or paper.
_ _ I
Have got a 40 minute bus ride in front of me.
_ I'd be wake up and start
chanting this over and over
_ Going like, you know _ _
It
Don't worry about anything else in the world _
Get this.
This is really funny
_ It's gonna make your then drummer David Michelson laugh really hard
You know, it's gonna make Rick Hart laugh and Keith laugh.
Great.
It's perfect and
We were listening heavily to Carl Perkins and NRBQ at the time
Rockpile as well, and it's just like it fit _ _ and
I got home
_ my ex-wife wife at the time _
Came, you know, man
We can we and I hushed her the might be the only time in my life where I just held up a hand with
No, got a right
_ _ Went and got it down _
Got the third verse together put plug the hole in the second verse.
Boom song was done and
_ Then said hello to her and you know, and I'm going like I don't know if it's great
But it's making me laugh _ _ and
Sure enough it took on a life of its own
You know, we did the the performance you hear _ on the album
Was a remix of the demo we cut on
The EP that was that was basically shopped around to every label four times
every single one
_ Until Mike bone head of promotions at Electra on the rock side
_ said _ he
_ Gathered up the the two way and our guys and what give me a real good reason not to sign this band
Make them do more demos do whatever, you know pretend like it what it's a safe face for yourself
Do whatever you need give me this band.
Give me this song.
Give me this take _ _
_ You know, he knew enough and
he got all three _ and
Over _ the fence, you know, it's it's just like I didn't know the ball would go that far, you know Really _ didn't
So we were all shocked the song
_ has
It transformed my life financially _ _ _
By I'm I have to be wise how I spend my money, but I never have to work a day
You know, I don't have to do an honest job
_ For the for the rest of my life, you know
_ _ Hell I've even broken down and gotten the yard man _ _ _ I
Used to boat a lot all the time, you know take care of a lot more stuff than I do now, but I'm 67
_ You know not getting any younger
But the song has you know, the the final thing was that car commercial where the you know, the guys telling us
_ _ Yeah, the story about you know, his girl doesn't get attacked by the young boy.
Yeah, they're going to prom _ and it's funny story
_ _ But that money I paid the mortgage off on the house _ _ _ _
_ Just I took care of things didn't step up anywhere
_ _ _ This is what you call wisdom, it may be the only time I've displayed it but by God I realized if We _ don't
Blow it we got it, _ you know and sure enough
Yeah, and I always tried to play the song every night that we played homemade sin solo _ _ _
Just you know, it's like
Song entrant was my handshake to the world and in some club
There might be two people that have never seen the band.
It's the only reason they came down
Was to see the guy do the huggy kissy song and it's just like oh, yeah
I'll do it for you.
And you know, we're not gonna extend it or anything like that.
We're gonna you know
Two verses two rounds of solo a verse two rounds of solo the end
You know _ actually a little shorter than the record because it go fades on the third turn
_ _ _ So, you know, it's just like, you know, but I always wanted to do due diligence to the song, you know, it
_ _ has kept me out of
the average rock and rollers
Financial situation which is poor
_ Yeah _ _
_ It _ _ is it is unless you hit them hit the bell _ and
I don't know.
Yeah, I told you how I wrote it You know
Tell me what the gear was.
I think you played this head on.
Yes.
Yes.
This is a high watt 100 head
Uh that was jeff glixman's he sold it to me
for the princely sum of
$300 _ and you played that on keep your hands.
Yeah.
Yeah, and uh,
Grab out the old man because that's the guitar _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
That's the guitar where you plug straight into the high watt do an echo plex
He liked he liked the and I used it on us as a super soft slap
_ [B] um
Which always helps to tell these tight high end it kind of dims it just a little bit way upstairs
So you you know, and especially the tape thing and coming real quick it
Lifts the bottom and there's a trick eddie van halen used to do _
Which is he'd slam his bar all the way up to zero _
Turn the treble all the way up
And leave the bass at mid
_ And that's how he got his tone
I will show you the secret here in a minute _
It is really amazing what it does for the low end of something that is
On the edge of what we call woolly
_ Yeah, just a bunch of you know _ [E] downstairs that
_ Never sounds good and you shouldn't use it
