    Three Sisters


    (Becker/Fagen ©Zeon LLC 1992 / ©Freejunket Music 1992)


    Adam Rogers - Guitar

    Dean Parks - Guitar

    Fima Ephron - Bass

    Ben Perowsky - Drums

    John Beasley - Keyboards

    Dave Russell & Roger Nichols - Engineers


    Trouble on the left, trouble on the right

    Trouble in front of you

    The yellow man is still the mellow man

    You know what you gotta do

    No mistake my friend they seen your end

    She'll take it out of you

    Buddy, it's your skin, where do I come in

    To begin doubting you


    You got Dana with the vibe

    And Annie with the heavenly body

    Carrie with the furs and diamonds

    Now that's three sisters shaking

    At the same time


    Summertime is here, lust is everywhere

    This is your lucky day

    Dance that little dance, give yourself a chance

    Say what you wanna say

    Its a trip I swear when they find you there

    Asleep at the matinee

    I just wanna be in the balcony

    When they give the bride away


    Is it Dana with the vibe

    And Annie with the heavenly body

    Carrie with the furs and diamonds

    You got three sisters shaking

    At the same time


    Trouble on the left, trouble on the right

    Trouble in front of you

    A yellow man is still a mellow man

    You know what you gotta do


    You take Dana with the vibe

    And Annie with the heavenly body

    Carrie with the furs and diamonds

    You got three sisters shaking

    At the same time

    Sounds great! And what a band! Lots of questions about this one. To start: What’s the official title of this tune? “Three Sisters?” “Three Sisters Shaking?”

    Well now this IS a surprise. I had assumd the ASCAP entry would be 3 SS. But it turns out it's 3S ! And yet almost everyone) calls it 3SS. Or calls it one way one time, and the other way another time. You learn something every day (btw the copyright would cover both titles)


    . The band is atill active in various configurations -- and 20 years better! I believe they all have facebook pages -- check em out! [Add: and tell them that Mod sent you!]

    This is a great version of the out take... better in my opinion than the youtube.com one... base sound and playing is excellent - I know it's not Walter... I know this is an 11 Tracks out take but this production wouldn't have been out of place on Circus Money... or indeed one of the last 2 SD records... I guess Walter never finished the vocs but it's fine for me...

    This really helps negotiate the loss, which I am still reeling from. . . Walter was a primary influence of mine as a songwriter, guitarist, and bassist, and it still floors me that he's gone. Hearing this wonderful unreleased material is a great reminder that he's still here in so many ways. . . His unfinished works/ideas run rings around the completed efforts of so many. Though I never met the man -- only Thelonious Monk would best him in my 'I'd like to meet. . .' sweepstakes -- I miss him terribly. -- Randy

    I posted this over at the "solved" Board, but it goes for you, too

    ===========

    Thanks everyone for the kind words on our little puzzle . I'm especially touched by those of you for whom the hurt is still fresh and who feel , as I do, that our little world here at WBMedia is somehow mitigating some of the hurt. But for whatever the reason, I'm glad you enjoyed the egg hunt (solved or not), and posted .Of course there's a couple of dozen people who at this moment are probably planning a painful demise for me and my partner in inflicted pain . I'm sure WBM will have his own comments to add, but you should know -- especially those planning our demise -- that we could have had a riot here last night instead of a frustrating but fun puzzle session (over at the HINTS board); you should have seen the things WBM WANTED to put in! Cheers, everybody... D-Mod

    Enjoying the new version of Three Sisters Shaking. This one is more polished and under the radar. The demo that's been floating around for 15-20 years is less polished but somehow a little more brighter and energetic. Both great! Delia, work through that grief.
