Instrumental!

I had originally recorded this with verses and choruses. The song had been about an old girlfriend. But I wasn't happy with the lyrics or the vocal sections in general. So they were edited out to make Mary Said an instrumental. It was most fun to have Susan Johnson come in to play an oboe part. Susan was a high end classical musician, but had never played pop music or improvised in any way. She had no idea what to play. I told to just play notes that were in the key and to blow hard. I like the final result. It's a good old jam - with oboe!
