[Fot] A good day at Blackhawk

[Tony Drews]

Jack came up with the lyrics.  They were somewhat honed at the track 
parties organized by William Severin Thompson the 3rd.  I miss those 
Thicko parties.  Eventually Bill Dalton invited Jack to come up to his 
place and record them in his studio.  All of the instruments in the 
songs are Bill Dalton.  I was surprised at how good a musicians my 
fellow racers are.  The Road America Blues lyrics immortalizes several 
of the group that hung out at those parties.

Regards, Tony
