what i've been doing all day




Promotion. sitting in front of my computer, promoting. this is the state of things today! but i'm trying to blog more...write more and after i post this, i'll head to the basement and play some actual music.



this is one of the images i made from the posters i've created for the launch. i feel like a parrot--every person i talk to, "are you busy January 19?" blah blah.

played a really fun show with great musicians last night and was the featured performer alongside Rob Thorworth and host, David Glaser. It was a blast. Rob is SO good. He's got this song...Devil's Confusion. I have seen him play this song several times, but rarely have I been so close enough to really, intently watch his hands as he plays it. Busy and determined fingers, moving over the fretboard. Fingers moving with intention and purpose, burning up the wood and strings. They buzzed. Hell, we all did.

Yerfdog/N-thotep commented that I should participate in the other player's songs by playing solos. this is a hard step for me, i'm not confident in that way. But last night, i dreamt i played a long, wonderful, soaring solo on my electric guitar. the notes were tied together like ribbons in front of me as they flowed out of the head stock of my instrument. it was rad. i love taking Benadryl right before bed.
