Holiday Cheer...
To all my friends, past and present, happy holidays to you all. I hope wherever you are, you find what you want, you drink yourself into happy obliivion and have much happiness in the coming year ahead.
On to the news:
Had a X-mas/Drinking excuse on Saturday at my parents house and all went extreemly well! Did up a 5 Kilo roast on the BBQ that turned out beautifully! There was lots of execellent food that was raveged and many great friends turned up. Some jamming in the sunroom with a future member of Hotel Whiskey's upcoming blues project happened, and friends from Mise... resturant showed up after they closed up the shop and had a great time!
On Hotel Whiskey's front, I've asked a friend named John Forbes to stand in for our friend Jared to help with a blues project to get our focus going while Jared's away. This will establish a base for our repoitore and will help with out style of playing.
I watched 'Lightning in a Bottle' last night and Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown said it right: "Sticking with what you know is one thing, but don't stay with it the rest of your life, go to something else. Then add that to your repotoire. That's how you develope style." And I agree. Many awesome and influential bands from the 60's and 70's all started out this way like Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Cream and the Allman Brothers and they all created their own diffrent style that became distinct and damn great to listen to with some of them doing extensive jamming while having a background in blues.
I hope in doing this, we'll start making a name for ourselves when we start playing.
Well, that's all for now. Happy Holiays!
Murphy, what were you thinking when you set your Christmas Tree on fire?
Damnit man, you're insane!
