LEWIS ON 92 IN THE SHADE: "I seemed to have become Elliot Kastner's resident composer and he felt I'd done some great work. He produced this film, and incidentally, 92 is apparently the temperature at which most murders are commited. The picture was shot at Key West, with Margot Kidder, Peter Fonda, Warren Oates and Harry Dean Stanton, with post production at Pinewood. The director, Thomas McGuane, said I might be a great composer but I wasn't a 'Red-Neck', so I became a 'Red-Neck' on Elliot's instructions, and we formed a band rather than an orchestra. It was all done as a country and western score and it worked fabulously well, and all I wrote was the top lines, chord symbols, and every eight bars I would say 'Harmonica', 'Violin' or 'Guitar' etc. When we did "Key West Sundown" in Los Angeles, I got Tommy Morgan on harmonica, Carl Verheyen on guitar, and again all I gave them was the top line. And they took just 25 minutes for this one take, and I think the track is an absolute classic!."
