The Chameleon Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Terrible news. He was a personal friend of the family. Very unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. J Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 fack it. willie deserves two parallel tribute threads Amen to that. Interesting Willie P. story (there are 100’s). When James was recording his solo CD (Restless Soul), Willie P. came into the studio to lay down some harmonica, mandolin and back-up vocals. At the outset, Willie played the mandolin from various spots in the studio, and listened to the playback, until he found the one spot in the room where he got the exact sound he wanted. Later, Willie decided to go out for smoke. Before he did though, he bent down, untied his shoes, stepped out of them, leaned his mandolin against a chair and went out for the smoke. When he came back in, he grabbed his mandolin, stepped back into his shoes and continued recording from the exact spot marked by his unmoved shoes ha-ha. While Willie was out, James took a photo of his empty shoes and mandolin. It appears in the CD’s booklet. What a treasure the pic is now. Willie is a huge loss.
