Long Ago and Far Away In Another Life
Opening for The James Gang at Gettysburg College. Bill Moorhead, bass, and Rick Hubert, guitar, Butch Feeser, drums, in 1970 as Sunshine.
Believe it or not, all we are trying to do is have a good time. Many moons ago, some of us were blessed to spend some time making a lot of people very happy through rock'n'roll. Brief little tunes that you could sing with, jump up and down, shake rattle and roll, or whatever else turned you on. Now we do it with food. Cape Seasonings is dedicated to having a good time with friends while cooking, eating, laughing, listening to your favorite music, and maybe some other fun things that come along with parties.
So please, we encourage you to "Play with your food." Cook some fish, make an appetizer, season a salad, or even, dare we say it, drink your favorite adult beverage while treating your tastebuds with our seasoned chips and pretzels. Of course, as the lawyers say (wink wink nudge nudge), please drink responsibly. You'll get Happy Tastebuds. Life is a beautiful thing.

"Whatever's Right" - The music that you hear when you hit our Home Page was written by the best musician I have ever had the pleasure to work with, Horsty. Our buddy from Biglerville, PA. was multi-talented in all sorts of diverse fields. Educationally, he held degrees in horiculture from Penn State (BS) and North Carolina State (MS) where he worked on a "Cumato" - a genetically re-wired tomato on the inside and a cumcumber on the outside. That was for the family. For himself, he played piano and trombone, ultimately studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
It was in Atlanta where he hit his stride. You've heard his music in movies, TV shows, commercials, and with such icons as Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Natalie Cole, the Atlanta Symphony and countless others. The boy had mega talent.
We began working together in rock'n'roll bands playing frats, clubs, parties, you name it, throughout Pennsylvania. The first time he saw me (a frat gig in the basement of the Fairfield, PA. Fire Hall; he had marched in the Biglerville High School Marching Band earlier in the evening and was showing up to do the gig), he thought I might be a space alien. Attempting to be tragically hip, I was wearing a white Nehru jacket and "love beads". It makes me sad just thinking about it - not about him, but what I was wearing! Ouch!
Anyway, that began a friend/working relationship that still lives in my heart. Throughout high school, and then through Oklahoma at Leon Russell's Studio on the Lake in Disney, OK., onto the Sweet Pain daze of touring and recording, and then a few more recording sessions here and there. He was my best friend.
Ed left us in November 2010. For reasons I can not explain, a part of me left with him. It's more than a hole in the heart of missing a friend. It's musical. For those us who were blessed to know and work with Horsty, we miss him dearly. Or as he would say, "Whatever's Right."

I am a drummer. For better or worse, that is what I am. I love rhythm and it's relationship with the Universe. It's all about rhythm. The sun comes up, the sun goes down. Waves roll in, waves roll out. Seasons. Vibrations. Heart beats. Love. It's all about rhythms.
Which brings us to cooking and eating. If you've read this far, you must enjoy the Holistic experience of preparing and enjoying food. The prep work. Aromas with sauteeing onions and garlic. Seasoning and tasting, and re-seasoning for taste. Laughter with friends and family; your favorite music as your personal soundtrack; a delicious adult beverage (or two...). And then, treating your tastebuds to spectacular flavors and textures of food, glorious food.
It's rhythm. Find it and dance like there's no one is watching.
So that you can get a feel for being in a good rock'n'roll band, please watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Specifically, when Matthew Broderick as Buehler lipsinks John Lennon in The Beatles version of Twist and Shout, Buehler, the girls on the float, and the entire crowd just let it loose. It makes you want to cry because it feels so good. That folks, is becoming one with your soul. Rhythm.
As a drummer, I have now found some new rhythms with Cape Seasonings. Just like those sweet little three minute songs from the radio that we love so much, we now create tasty little ditties for your tastebuds. Nothing more, nothing less. Hey! Are you having a good time? Time is short: "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience." - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
