What do you think?

Please keep 'em coming if you think that this is fun. You could really end up naming my band. I believe that we have an opening slot scheduled for the 15th. Don't know much about it yet though. I'll try to get it on my camera>then to DVD for ya's.

Things are good here though. Weather is great finally! Been going to some Tampa Bay Lightning (hockey) games lately. That's so much fun! I recommend that you all go to a Indy Ice game. Cheap tickets too. Either sit close enough to bang on the glass OR sit up in the nosebleeds where you can see the whole rink. Don't forget your glasses though.

Bandidge.............

Smokeable Tree? Won't Kill You? Barbie's Abortion? Those are really good! Just too funny though.

Abel Cape, Muser & Persuasive Rail are all pretty good. Thanks! Coming up with band names is always fun anyway! KEEP THEM COMING!!!!

Some of my favorite band names out there are Cowboy Mouth, Sunny Day Real Estate, Ween, DeerHoof, Fugazi, Flaming Lips, Government Mule, My Morning Jacket & Nervous Turkey. Nervous Turkey is a friend's band. They had to come up with a name just B4 Thanksgiving last year.

Just had another practice last night. Reviewed what we had & sounded great, so we moved on. Lead vocalist, Nick, presented a verse/chorus that he had. Everyone communicated & proposed ideas for the song without egos getting in the way. All contributed because it wasn't completely written. Anyway, it ended up sounding great! Now we have 4 originals.

So we might start looking for some open mic's or opening slots once we get a GOOD 7 songs.

KEEP THE NAMES COMING!

Middle-Aged

Right, I am now in the sort of middle-aged category. Thank you for the birthday wishes. It's 12:26AM & my birthday is now over.

So we've practiced 3 times now & so far, so good. I have 3 of their original songs down now. Their former name is "dsc project", but they (thankfully) want to change it. The other names that they were tossing around sucked, so try to come up with a swell name for a ROCK band. Really. Not too many joke responses though. I want to toss a few at them before they settle on some totally lame name. It's kind of hard to shoot down a potential band name if you're the new guy.

Got it!

Well, I passed the audition last night & we're practicing again tonight at 7:30.....EST. They sound a lot like an up-beat version of Queens of the Stoneage. Throw a dash of Umphrey's McGee (my favorite band) and some old Metallica. I have two original songs that I've been listening to all day. Tonight, I want to nail them both. It might be pretty hard since there are a lot of sections to these two songs.


FINALLY, A GOOD PROJECT!!!!!!

Well then...........

Well then.........

I've been busy since my last entry. Let me tell ya....

Last weekend was the Cearwater Jazz Fest & it's a free event every year. I went with my good heterosexual buddy, Bill. "Biiiiillllll!" Anyway this band, Medeski Martin & Wood, was the headliner. Their style is a sort of funky-free jazz & the kids like it. I've seen them about 5 times now. So all of the old folks were set in the lawn after a day of cool & hip jazz when the hippies moved in for the final act, MMW. They were yelling at us, "Sit Down" but we just yelled back "Stand Up". Anyway the show was great and free.

Went to the Jacksonville/Indy game the other Monday night. The fans were complete dicks. Pardon my colorful language. If I were a lesser man, I would have committed two or more assaults just getting into the game. Really, they threw ice & were yelling personal remarks. GLAD WE WON THOUGH! Maybe they were yelling because we were wearing Colts jerseys & face paint, but I don't really know. LOL.

OK, I'm auditioning for a band in the next few days. I've been waiting for a good project to join & this looks pretty good. You should hear most of the bands that contact me....whew! Here's the link to the band. What do YOU think?

I noticed Rosie's comment on Thanksgiving churizzo dish from my last post. I have a suggestion for a recipe. I left the recipe in a comment under yours, Rosie. I always talk to this chef every time I go to this restaurant & he told me how to make this dish. If anyone wants to try it, let me know. It is SO GOOD.

Finally, I will be in IN from 12/20 through 1/2!!!!! See you then. Love you all & I'll miss you on Thanksgiving!
