I Phoned Govinda A little taste of “Country and Eastern” for you. We wanted to call it IPhone Govinda but we couldn’t for obvious reasons. It was at a kirtan in NYC that I decided to sing it for the first time.
I had sent a recording of it to Mark Gorman, our bass player, so he could learn it. So there I was sitting in front of 1000 people and as I began the song I realized I was singing the wrong melody! So I stopped and laughingly started again.
And AGAIN I sang the wrong melody. Everyone totally cracked up. Then Mark yells over to me that he has the melody on his phone.
