This "vocal challenge" was a spontaneous happening live on stage. Imagine trying to improvise a conversation in the rhythms of The Black Page. Adam Minkoff and Ryan Brown are wizards or being able to think in real time, filtering their thoughts within the complex rhythms of "The Black Page." This was the only time this idea was ever attempted. It was fun to hear the results.

Comments

I became aware of Adam Minkoff through his amazing work with Doyle Bramhall II after seeing them live. I was an instant fan. He is musicianship defined. Dweezil, if you should happen to communicate with him in the future, please let Adam know he is being put on a pedestal by a weird Van Halen fan in Houston!
