Location: NJ | Got my first gig t'night as a . . . "cajon-ist".
Our Own JohnB and my ex-partner Rick (aka "Sloppy Sec . . . uh, Second Shift") are allowing me to "sit-in" with them tonight with my new LP AngleFront . . .
Should be Fun.
It'll be cool t'NOT be one of the guys "up front" taking all the heat, but t'sit in the back & just shrug my shoulders, get drunk & say ". . I dunno, . . I'm just the drummer . . ."
In order to improve my drumming skills, I'm actively canvassing the local pizza shops for a driver's job . . . |

I HAVE to bring a recorder tonight.
The shots are on me! |

All kidding aside. It should be a good time. I'm looking forward to it. |

Location: big island | tell ya what...this past sunday there was a huge party for a local guy enjoying his 100th birthday. the guy attends my church and he has family forever not to mention hundreds of friends. there were nearly 500 people at the luau hall and a few bands were there, including mine. i brought the angled cajon to demo and play. it was a major hit (pun intended) and i believe mine is the first one on the island. seems "american idol" is the only place anyone around here has seen a cajon before. even un-mic'd the uuumphh of this thing carries very well. |
