I Wouldn't Lie About This Shit.

So this Saturday, I went to Bob's studio with a whole car full of shit and we only got one song done. There was supposed to be some people there but only three showed up. Mark showed up and left. Jim wasn't prepared so we didn't do his song. Jeff was ready so we did a cover of Nowhere Man that was slower than usual and we changed the arrangement a little. I played drums, bass, acoustic guitar and I did some harmonies. It was fun but I wish we would've gotten more done. I got an email asking if I could play a gig with the Eat at Alligator Alley on the 8th. Right now it's tentative but I hope it comes off. I 'spose there will be a short round of rehearsals.

Last night, I participated in my friend Dave's podcast. I posted about the last one about a year ago. Dave, Keith and I get together and discuss albums that mean a lot to us. We did this one over the phone 'cause Dave is in Washington DC. This time I chose Meet The Beatles, Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols and Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. As soon as he edits it, i'll post a link to it for the severely bored. Charlie Pickett called me today and told me we're going to New York October 25th to play a record company thing in Brooklyn. Today I did a phone interview with Bill Meredith for the TGIF section of the Palm Beach Post. He's writing an article on the Dillengers that i'm sure i'll post here when it comes out on August 1st....which is the same day the Beatles' Monopoly game comes out. This is going to be cool. I'm gonna have to get some people together and have a game.

Today, I also brought the Strat in for a looksee... Saturday I strung it up like normal and when I got to the D string, I was stretching it and it made a weird sound so I cut it off and put on a new one and that one sounded the same...kinda dull. So I figured I probably messed up the nut. The guy (Tom) at the Amp Shop called me and said it was just a bad string. Two in a row? Hard to believe but I pick it up tomorrow and i'll figure it out then. I also brought in the Telecaster to possibly change a pickup. Since I went to a humbucker, I haven't been able to use it because it sounds real muddy. Who knows what the rest of the week will bring. Not to many gigs this weekend. O'Hara's on Saturday and Elwood's on Sunday. Round and round it goes.......
