I have decided to abandon my idea to turn Hell into a working music & video studio. First off, Hell has no heating, and being entirely underground, it gets pretty cold down there. Snowballs would have a very good chance lasting a while. Second, the cat box is down there. Mind you, I’m pretty diligent […]
went to an O.M. tonight…mostly ’cause if I hadn’t, I might have gone to bed…played a couple of songs with some guys I knew…convinced/coerced the waitress/barmaid to (if she really wanted to) get up onstage and sing…*I* didn’t know if she actually could or not…I’ve heard better, and I’ve heard worse…I actually physically pushed her […]
Did my first paying gig in about a month last night…I’d forgotten how much it takes out of me physically, and I’m NOT jumpin’ all over the stage like the younger guys sometimes do…But it was a fair amount of fun, and I can pay my speeding ticket (yaay) and still have money in my […]
Me, earlier this evening, about 5 PM: La la la la! Okay, it’s raining and I’m getting completely soaked as I bicycle along, but it’s all good! I’m having fun, almost to the bus stop, on my way to the open mic night! La la la la!! SCRRRUNCHEKEE THUNK! KLAAAAK!!! (Bicycle simply stops, almost throwing […]
When it comes to playing Music, I’m better off having help of some kind…some people do just fine on their own, I am not one of those people…Went to an Open Mic, played two songs by myself…did NOT have fun, no matter how good I may have been (within throwing distance of “horrible” I think) […]
I’m auditioning this weekend for a role in a short, student film, a comedy by the name of Bed, Track and Beyond. I read the following description in the call announcement: Josh – Early 40s. Starts out slightly chubby and soft… I thought, I’m 40! I’m slightly chubby and soft! I could do this! The […]
The new production of the Catholic singer & song writer, Jessica Marie Tous NO APAGARE MI VOZ (I WILL NOT TURN OFF MY VOICE) OVERVIEW/PRESS RELEASE God’s message to his creature does not change, has been and will forever be the same. But for those who hear it, can change Our preferences and perceptions […]
went out last night to see a couple of different bands…when I got to the first one, the pianist asked me if I’d brought any gear…I hadn’t, but maybe I would have if I had been asked ahead of time–MAYBE…no biggie, they were OK, but the place was crowded and I only stayed about an […]
I discussed in a recent blog the remarkable sequence of synchronicities that lead me to renting my latest apartment. I’m a believer in determinism (with a theistic bent), and am constantly looking for signs which indicate that I am, indeed, on the life path that I am intended to be on. As one who believes […]
went to an open mic, didn’t bring a guitar (bad idea) but a friend was kind enuff to let me use her’s…She and another friend were (supposedly) in charge…I told him that my friend Lou and I didn’t want any “help”–MAYBE we woulda been better off with the help, but *I* doubt it…a drummer asked […]
