-UPON THE STARS
A Pit Bull is probably the most feared dog in the world.
Kip was visiting the lake in his Echo Park, California neighborhood when
he noticed a blonde Pit Bull puppy, roaming, homeless. He had a beautiful
Mutt named Agnes who had just left us for a better world, so he decided
to take the Pit Bull home and name her Brigitte.
This all happened in the middle of us recording “Upon the Stars” Kip
Boardman’s first solo record. We made the record in his living room with
first Agnes then Brigitte knocking over microphones and things. If you
listen close you can hear Agnes’ yelp, Bridgette’s nails on Kip’s worn
hardwood floor, Connie’s collar scratching behind her ear, Tony’s braclets
knocking against his fathers 50 year old steel string guitar and Don’s
questioning, “How’s that Charles?”.
How could I be happier?
