Sue Unit and Spankie and Freckee the Cat and I all pile up in the turd box Plymouth Voyager minivan named Whitey that didn't last, but that day it got up onto the Blue Ridge to a mountain cabin near Aheville, NC, smelling like blown head gasket the whole way up. It didn't help that I'd brought a lot of band equipment with me. Whitey was loaded down. I was playing a lot at the time, I wanted to go up there and record a song. Had no idea what song.
Frecklee loved the "cabin." It was a 360-degree, all glass walls round deal on stilts at the end of a gravel road. We went naked a lot that week (we were young into our relationship) , because nobody, but nobody was coming to that end of that gravel road. A small sign at the end of the driveway to the cabin said, "Begin NC State Wilderness."
That was my favorite vacation. Frecklee the Cat loved the place so much, looking out of all the windows, he cried, yammered all the way back home. LOUD. And for all of his life he never had but a word to say. He screamed and yowed all the way home. He hated leaving that place. Spankie loved thundering down the mountain on a dead run, glad nothing solid got in the way.
And in it all I did lay down a few tracks for a song. This was my favorite vacation, and there's a poorly done song to remember it by. At least Sue Unit and I can remember that trip by this song. We were reminded by it all tonight when Unit was trying to play it on guitar. She's getting pretty good at it. Well, better, anyway.
