Well hello to you all. Another week of winter has come and gone and actually this week could be the breaker we've all been waiting for. It’s sunny and 50 Degrees and I can't believe it. I've even spotted tons of geese making the trip back north.
I’ve even seen some bonehead today on a yellow sporty in Binghamton in a Tee-Shirt and shorts. My god what was he thinking? Did he lose his sport bike or what. So I guess spring is closer then we think.
On to the review from last week. The Hitchin' Post show, quite simply put - was not one of our finer shows for 2011. The crowd was mellow and we just couldn't jump start the action train for the evening. Oh well, you can't have “Garden Shows” every time you play out. Now where would the challenge be if they were all "Hallmark Appearances"
Saturday we had an evening off but after the Friday night show, it was nice to kick back a night and focus on Sundays "work on the new album"- day.
Yeah we were back in the studio once again working on "Back to Basics" with some old friends of ours - Jake and Susie from the Blue J's. We came away with some awesome guitar work from Jake and some sweet three part harmonies from Susie. Thank you guys for adding some intense "depth" to our project.
We also want to thank Ken for coming by all the way past Corning and adding some intense blues harp and banjo parts to a couple of our songs as well.
We worked at it almost all day and like they say in the kitchen - "The proof is in the puddin'. One step closer boys and girls to the finished product. It just keeps getting better and better.
We also would like to thank our engineer/producer Dean for his never ending patience through all of this as this album has truly been a labor of love.
On to Frumpy's for the production of our next album cover. The Frump himself has us all lined up to shoot a cover using one sweet Black 49 Ford Coupe (V8 of course)
We even got Pak-Rat involved in picture composition on this one too. Sweet!
So as we close, Saturday Evening we return to Nineveh Junction - AKA Central Hotel. The show starts about 6pm. So, stop by and just say hi. And I promise this week- "We Won't Suck"
Be well Be good Behave,
Mikee^Dee
