more bones

now playing: october project, "paths of desire"

dig this guy - no denyin' whose kid he is. you wouldn't believe how impressed his mom was when he came home from TN knowing how to play mandolin...

this picture is from an outdoor carnival that we played this past summer...i seem to have a lot of pics of me with this guitar. it is something special, though. i have five telecasters, and this one is the best of the lot.

also from tennessee this past summer is yours truly with ed king from lynyrd skynyrd. ed is one of the nicest guys i've met on his particular rung of the food chain - i took ed and his wife sharon out to dinner the night we got into nashville, and we all enjoyed their company a great deal. can't wait to go down and see him again.

on the subject of skynyrd, i heard some cuts from a fan-generated tribute cd today that was just awful. the worst part was that there were a number of cuts on the record by a nationally known tribute band, and they had no clue. didn't play the solos right, timing was off, vocals were lousy. other than that, i guess it was ok. i didn't hear anyone do a solo right on any of them. too bad our boys didn't get wind of this before it came to fruition...i would've loved to have gotten a stone road treatment on there.

tomorrow is "melt blake's brain in the studio" day. gotta go home and pack my stuff...that is, after i drive to emmaus to try and sort through some PC problems for one of my clients. and just like that, another week will be over. many phone calls to make before the nights' over, though.

walked outside today to scamper across route 61 to the supermarket for lunch, and smelled someone's wood fire burning...one of my absolute favorite smells. definitely in my all time top five smells.

definite sign of autumn. never mind all those leaves in the parking lot....
