Where there's light under glass.

February 2010 ...

I recently contributed to the inimitable Ball of Wax volume 18. This particular one had a theme, 1 minute songs. Well, 1-2 minutes. And it had to be a singer/songwriter thing. Anyone that knows my music knows that's not really how I roll. It'll take me 5 minutes just to get to the central theme of a piece. And I don't really ever sing. But I wanted to participate, if nothing else, for the challange of it. I kinda cheated. I found a song I recorded a while back, and edited a 1:20 song out of it. Then at the release show, I did a 5 minute version. I like the song well enough actually, and will be remastering it and posting it here as an oddity.

I have a small show coming up as well. March 26th, I'll be part of the fundraiser for the Seattle Occultural Music Festival. I'll be one of 10 guitarists performing. Should be rad. This was the first I've heard of the festival as well. Hopefully next year I can be part of the fest proper. We'll see.

Don't ask about the new album. Seriously. Don't. I mean it.

And that's that. Thanks for the visit...
