They were all trapped. With little more than food from the convenience store on the corner to survive on, they began playing with the new recording software on the Barr's home computer. "Surprise me," became a catch phrase that week whenever someone would get that glimmer in the eye and disappear into the headphones. If anyone asked, "what should I play," the ineveitable answer was "Surprise me!" Toward the end of the week, Nathan received a message on his cell phone from the enchanting voice of a sweet older lady with a rich accent saying, "Mister Davis, you're having fun with that recording!" (click here to hear her.) It was a wrong number but the boys loved the sound of her voice and even imported the message into the track "Snowed In". She had called someone named Mister Davis.
Surprise Me Mr Davis gets together for a few weeks every year to tour and for the last 3 years have been the highlight of the High Sierra Music Festival making many Jambase.com top 3 lists. July 2006 they opened for MY MORNING JACKET late night at HSMF.
