It has been a while since I have written. I don't have a computer so it's not as easy to blog right now, but I will blog when I can. That is a funny word blog. I wonder where that word came from? Any way Mr. Tim Jones was nice enough to let me borrow his computer while he and Walker go get the other boys from the the airport.
We are in Indianapolis tonight. We play tomorrow at Rib Fest here in Indy, Sat at Hookaville in Ohio, then Steel Jam in Bethlehem, PA and then back to Wellston, OH for the Coal Festival.
We were lucky enough to get to stay in beautiful Monterey, CA for a few days after playing a nice festival there with Jackie Greene. Then 2 days after we chilled in Monterey. Did a really cool Backyard BBQ with the Honeymoon ladies. We hope to do more of those. Thank you to everyone for making it such a special afternoon. More to come!!
And to top all of that off the Levine residence had us over to have food and a bad ass jam session with Jonathan and the Honeymoon ladies. Thank you man!!
I woke up the morning of the 31st. Stretched and headed to the AT&T field to see the the Giants kick the feathers out of the Cub's and we were lucky enough to sing the National Anthem!! I think we killed it. good job boys!!
Most of you know what I look like. Long curly brown hair, black Mustache and a soul patch. Who is the guy that people tell me I look like the most? Well Frank Zappa of course.
Frank Vincent Zappa was born in Baltimore, but for a quick stint while he was a kid he lived in Monterey, CA before his family settled in San Diego.
I can't say that I put Zappa on the record player often to sit back and listen to his music, but I will say that I respect what he has done for modern day musical composition. His school of drummers are some of my favorite and Ruth Underwood is on of the Zaniest and sexy percussionists out there in the 70's. Sit back and enjoy some Zappa. This particular clip really show's his humor and his band's rhythmic sensibility. Enjoy.
