yippee... and allsorts

November's galloping in with its full force. Up on these latitudes it means short dull gray days and long, cold, rainy nights - the suicide season at its best. But no worries, we're all in good spirits.
Had another go last Thursday with Pat E, the drummer (not related to Sheila), who is actually the guy behind the whole C & W-project idea. Now, Pat E is a big strong man, who likes to play his drums loud. Meaning LOUD. Well, he did bring two pairs of rodsticks with him, which was a mercyful gesture from his side. It is amazing how LOUD one can be, even when using those things.
Enough with teasing the poor fellow, he is the nicest of persons. Couple of sessions to come to find out whether he likes our new, more acoustic & vocal- oriented approach to the material. Let's keep the thumbs up for that.
AaHiiJ is out there playing pop for the masses again. So before Nov 10th there is not much to do but to check out the music of Rodney Crowell, who has another refreshing angle to the music.
T-Rox , All-U and SaM had the pleasure of meeting mr Jason Ringenberg the other day at Club Tavastia here in Helsinki. What a guy: nice, polite, intelligent, fun. Also excellent songwriter and a charismatic performer. Touring solo just with a guitar (at least in Europe) does not seem to be a problem: The bigger the stage, the bigger the act... Fun, crazy stuff... Strongly recommended to anybody foolish enough to read this blog. =)
Take care now...
