Relearning Songs

Wish us luck.  We’re having a go at this one Tuesday night, November 3rd Demo.  I can’t remember any of the chords, Mike can’t remember a lick of the bass solo.  It’s more complicated than most of our other stuff.  It’s also so beautiful, we can’t let it go.
Developments have been very slow of late, [...]

Fan Mail and Encouragement

Received this in the post today, smeared in places with hurried ink:
Ok, so men may I be bold and challenge you to gold, or platinum.
I was visiting the mySpace page (for the greatest basement band this side of the Mississippi river) and I noticed two older song posts that were/are quite good: “EightyOne” and “Harry [...]

Ode to Friz

Mike dug this old one up from somewhere. It’s a huge Bill Frisell rip-off - wait - let’s call it an ode. Love ya, Bill. I missed you when you were in Louie-ville.

Podcast coming up soon

Hey folks, hopefully by the end of the week. Long weekend here, and we actually have an agenda for tonight’s session!! There’s a song I need temporary lyrics for called, “I Could Be Wrong” so I’m going to go now and write them!
Low Flying Onion, if you’re reading this, shoot me an email [...]

Sore Shins, Derailed Trains, and Songwriting

We’ve gone off the rails again, but in a very good way;  at some point we realized if we want final recordings to start happening on songs, we need a modest upgrade of some equipment.  And of course, Mike would be quick to kick me in the shins, shouting “LYRICS!”.  Yeah, I guess we need [...]

Perhaps Our New Drummer.

Thanks, Frank.

Actually, I really like that snare sound….hmmmm

Writing Demo

Here’s the original germ of an idea for a song tentatively titled “Writing on the Wall”. We’ve since worked out a (sort of) chorus and (definite) bridge. We like the jam at the end; I’m sure the final will retain it as an instrumental outro. Mike says he’s remixing this demo [...]

What is Up

We recorded last night, spent the whole time on a brand new idea that we just made up out of our heads and hands.
New podcast coming very soon, not related to the above idea. Except for the fact it was made up, out of our heads and hands.

Happy Easter!

Went to Mass at the abbey this morning, 4 a.m.  It’s gorgeous today.  Mike and I recorded again;  once more we’re coming up with a lot of new ideas.  A particular one from last night left us full of joy and the wonder of “where did that come from?”  Very appropriate for the great Feast [...]
