The Thrill of the Chase - The Single
03/23/22 11:18 AM
On September 11th, 2021, at a table inside the dark and loud Wild West Saloon in West Yellowstone, MT, Jens Eser found out that I used to write music and sing. Gleamingly, he insisted that I write a song for him to use in his documentary on Forrest Fenn's infamous Treasure Hunt. My head was in a complicated place with the Chase at the time, and I had no idea how I even felt about Forrest or how the hunt ended. Reluctantly, I played with words, thoughts and feelings over the next few days, and on September 15th, while driving home from the grocery store, I hit record on my Voice Memos and punched out the first verse and chorus to the melody the song is today.
It took a couple of months to find a musician that had the patience and talents to transform what was in my head into a reality. An old friend, Eric Redelius, signed-up for the challenge and poured his soul into it. We spent several months recording tracks over and over again until we were content enough in how the song made us feel.
It has finally been uploaded to a publisher and is waiting for inspection and digital distribution. Please stay tuned for the release announcement.
