Long weekend

I have just dragged myself out of bed and am listening to Regina Spektor. Had two gigs with the Players Band this weekend. Both my mixers are fubar. Fortunately the band owns one, an old Mackie CFX-16, which we can use for the remainder of our gigs this summer; it’s just that it only has [...]

No more Camelot.

So, not only did the run of Camelot at Olney Theater Center end Sunday night, but also the Democrats lost Ted Kennedy’s seat in the Senate. Which probably spells the end of health care reform… …on a day where I’m sick because of the very long weekend: 5 shows and a recording session (for Dancing [...]

Goings on

Well, it’s been a while. I’m getting geared up to play the trombone book at Olney Theater’s production of “Camelot”, with my good friend Chris as musical director. Always fun, and I have a couple other friends (including one from way back in my MC days, Meredith the harpster) in the pit. So that’s basically [...]

I have no comments at all…

…on my writing blog and it makes me sad. Just uploaded a new zombie drabble (#9). I’m really enjoying the challenge inherent in these little stories of exactly 100 words, no more no less. You have to choose your words very carefully: it’s like threading a needle. I don’t know how successful I am at it [...]

The Weekend

Friday I got on a cleaning kick and cleaned, vacuumed, and rearranged the cave, correcting a few annoyances with the way I had my computer/studio setup, well, set up. I couldn’t really mess with the back of the rolling rack *or* the back of the computer. So I put the computer up on the desk [...]

A Few Things….

Had two gigs this weekend; a Players gig and a wedding gig with a band I’ve never played with before. Both were fun and went relatively well. I recorded the Players gig with Sonar (see below) and my laptop, but I haven’t looked at it yet to see if it’s useable. Sooner or later I [...]

Unvampire Part Deux: Cleaning then Sleeping.

Well, it took three days, but I’m among the living again. I stayed awake from 9pm Sunday night to 10pm Monday night (right after Tom Green.) Then I crashed hard. Just woke up about an hour ago. I wrote a blog entry just before I shut off the lights but I guess I was too out of [...]

Various updates.

Well, the Players band had a busy day yesterday… we played the main stage at artscape 2007 (pics here) in Baltimore, opening for the Isley Brothers, and then rocked on over to Annapolis to open for the Pietasters at the Whiskey. There may even be quicktime movies in the offing at some point if Angie (who [...]

Haven’t blogged in a while…

…I’ve been sicky, and not much has happened otherwise.  Played some good gigs with the Players…. two Bay Cafe Gigs, Nick and Lisa’s wedding (beautiful, out on the shore of the bay) and the Catonsville fireworks. Other than that? I’ve been listening to music. I made a Led Zeppelin playlist on my mp3 player and listened to [...]
