Now that my brain has adjusted to daylight savings, I’m back on track. It’s been a busy couple weeks playing gigs and recording. The Jake and the Neverland Pirates sessions went well, nailing down my parts for 7 tracks. That’s beyond the halfway point for the album, so it seems to be on pace for a timely completion.
Skoolyard played a fun show at The Gypsy, in NW Portland for their St. Patrick’s day celebration (I guess he drove the snakes away;) The stage (I mean drum riser) was so small, I couldn’t fit my floor tom on my right side. It wasn’t going to work on the left either, so I made do without it. It always makes me play differently when I don’t have my whole kit, but it was a good challenge.
I filled in for a country band called, The Sons of Bitches, a week ago last Saturday and it was awesome! I never knew I’d dig playing country, but these country cats write some pretty witty stuff. And I could stand to learn a thing or two about some country music from these boys. I think they’ll be calling on me for future gigs. This band is not for the easily offended.
