Hi all… Been a little while. If I haven’t written in a bit its just because we’re out there living life and making the music. It’s hard to find a time to sit and write. It’s also just so damn hot. Yuck. My building is made of brick and collects the sun all day long. It finally cools down around 4am just in time to wake from a fever dream.
I lost my voice this week. I actually enjoy loosing my voice. I caught a cold from being in airplanes with snot filled screamers and returned from my tour with Gato Loco all sinussed up. Cut to singing six sets a day with Tin Pan and now I have no voice left. I sang a wedding last night with no voice whatsoever. Zoo was teasing me cause my falsetto squeak was “a white noise approximation of in tune.” Thanks. Kick a man while he’s down. But I do like singing and talking with no voice. I feel like the pain involved in doing it makes any expression a struggle and lends the instant sonorous resonance of passion to even the most banal sentences. “Good morning, baby. How bout you make me some breakfast.”
Been starting to get some internet air play… We got on a pod cast or two this week: Bandana Blues with Beardo and Spinner. Beardo seems like a cool guy and I like his chilled out demeanor. I could easily see myself spinning yarns with this guy in a bar. Sometime soon. You hear me Beardo? Next time you’re in New York, I’m buying! Also thanks to Beardo for introducing the show with a Bill Hicks clip. One of my favorite comedians. Also for including us on a radio show next to idols like Willie Dixon and Albert King. YES! Also check out Freddie Roulettes version of Sidewinder on this podcast. Holy awesomeness!

Starting this week we’re also on the playlist at the Blues and Boogie Station and the Dirty Dog Blues Station alongside Muddy and John Lee Hooker.
