Floyd Dixon Yet another humbling experience. I've had the opportunity and honor of working with legendary Bluesman Floyd Dixon. Having had several of his tunes covered by John Belushi and Dan Akroyd, as The Blues Brothers, Floyd has entertained us all. I was fortunate enough to be with him in the recording studio while he was laying tracks for "Fine! Fine! Thing!". I, having grown up on Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Alman Brothers and the Stones, was a Blues fan and didn't realize it until it was pointed out by my good friend Jeff Dunas. Reserving some time during the recording schedule for a photo shoot, I set out with Bob Auerbach of High John Records and creative director Gary "The Wagman" Wagner to capture images for Floyds CD packaging. When I asked Bob and Gary what they wanted, their response was, "Do your thing". So, that is exactly what I did. I had a great time shooting Floyd; recording, in my own way, for the CD. Constantly moving and shooting in different situations, both Bob and Gary were very pleased with the amount and selection of images they had to work with for the packaging. Thank you Bob, Gary, and Mr. Dixon, I had a great time and am proud of the final product. Astor Morgan May 2005.
