Saw It Written And I Saw It Say.
The Funkabillies have been out of commission for what seems like an eternity. I've been obsessing over Nick Drake over the past few days. That's not a bad thing. I was watching part of a documentary on him on YouTube and it said in his last year he didn't leave the house much at all. I could be that way easily. I come home for lunch most days and it's torture having to leave to go back to work. Tonight's Eat rehearsal went pretty well. I went into it tired so it was hard working up the energy to play fast punk drums but i made it ok. I guess we're going to try to play a gig in December. Next Thursday, I have my first rehearsal with thursday's child. I hope we have quite a few of them before the New York gig. Trying to learn two band's worth of material is wearing me out. This Friday, The Dillengers are playing a pick-up gig at some place called Igot's in Lake Worth. I need a massage badly! I'm all out of whack. Tired!

Nick Drake's music is very autumnal. I like listening to him this time of year too. And reading Keats--another one who died too young (and I think would have been one of Drake's contemporaries. Although Keats did not attend Cambridge or any other university. That's kind of ironic, isn't it?)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run;
...And autumn reached for her golden crown...
Sandy Denny and Van Morrison are two of my autumnal favorites. And lots of JS Bach. And Thelonious Monk.
