Well hello my friends. I received many comments to last week’s Blog in regards to music censorship. I'm glad I could make your day a bit more "rewarding" for you all by spreading the word. Remember this - You have the control as a voting American to help guide your destiny for future changes that will ultimately control your life whether you want to admit it or not. On November 3rd get out and vote! Vote em' all out and let your voice be heard my friends- stand up for yourself and take control. Heavy huh? Now I'm being political too!
This week in Rock and Roll History: Tom Petty turns 56. Also this week in 1967 the late great Keith Moon of the Who “fame” is asked to become part of a new band that would include - Jimmy Page- Robert Plant and others- Keith declines and remains with the Who - and commented about the bands line up- "it will go over like a lead balloon" thus came the name Led Zepplin' ...Thanks Keith!
On to the review… Saturday evening’s Show was at the American Legion Post 1645 Hall in Binghamton. We have always had a "sound issue" with this venue- "too Loud" - so we tried out the new acoustic show. Well to sum it up in a nutshell, it was pure perfection. KW's Martin and DD's Acoustic Bass and my kick drum and high hat worked fantastic. We only brought out a pair of floor monitors for a P. A. and that's all she wrote. We had so many compliments. In the past we would have people throw hearing aidesat us as we were too damn loud. This time we gave away a ton of business cards instead. Ouracoustic show presentation is finally where it needs to be. We will try it out again at the Hitchin'Post on Thanksgiving weekend - stay tuned for more details as they become available.
Then Sunday came and we were back again in the studio to continue work on the much awaited "Full Circle” CD.We packed a ton of musicians into the "Goble Land Studio" and put down work on five of the new album’s tunes. Jim did some Bass work, Chris some awesome vocal works, Jeff did some very sweet guitar licks and some overdub work as well and not to mention our newest blues vocalist, “Pretty Patty Paterson”.
All I can say is there was some magic in the air that day. We had fantastic contributions from you all. WowI just can't wait to put this one in the can and finally mix it all down. There is still much to do and many more people to add to our recoding ensemble. We feel that we will most likely have to move the release date now more towards the first of the year some time. We thought it was a challenge last time making an album with 15 cuts - now it's a challenge to make an album with 15 musicians. We never do anything the easy way. If we did it would just be "the way" and what fun would that be. The "Full Circle" album will be something everyone can enjoy - as almost everyone we know is playing on it.
And Finally, this weekend we take a much needed weekend off from the world of music and then the following Friday night show is the much anticipated Halloween Party up to Davy's Last Chance Saloon - Don't miss this one.
So in closing, I’ll see you all in a couple weeks....I'll be goin' bowin' - Peace and be well. Mikee^^Dee
