HALLOWEEN PARTY

Saturday, October 24th, me and my buddy, Brian, are throwing a Halloween Pre Party. We thought this would be good planning so that if you do have little ones, you won't miss the party for tricks or treats. My band will be playing the event. Gracious Host Brian Ward will be serving free Vinson and Bison Burgers. We'd like you to bring a dish, so email your dish to Bward6@gmail.com so we can be sure you're not bring the 10th potato salad.

As for the band, Marc and Matt are great. We've been recording lately, finished all the drum tracks...just filling in some gaps for bass, guitar, and vocals.

It's a lot of fun to break apart something you've been playing for the last 2 or 3 years and make it into something more. I've enjoyed the experience of making a record and will forward to the next one.

Anyway, hope you can come out. Costume is optional. Its just a party ya know...

Till next time

Shows, Shows and More Shows

Just when you thought it was safe to go to the studio...

Wednesday, we'll be at the Light Horse in Old Town Alexandria from 10pm till 1:30 in the morning laying down the rock.

I'll be @ the Blue Water Grille in Centreville on Saturday with my bassist Matt doing a short acoustic set. This should be our last gig till the October Field Party(more to come on that shortly)

We're mapping and recording for the next few months, so we hope to see you at this next few shows before we get lost in studio.

Gap In-Store Acousic Show and More!!!

Playing an In-Store gig for The Gap's Promotion of 1969 Jeans on Thursday. It's a two-hour acoustic performance of all original music, so you don't want to miss this one. I'm really excited to be a part of this promotion and want you all to drop by to check me and the new 1969 Jeans out.

Also, the for the Rock Band side of my music, We're doing better than ever. We'll be mapping songs and tracking within the next few months, so after The Gap gig 8/20, the Blue Water Grille show 9/5 and the to be announced All Hallows Eve Field Party 10/24, we'll be laying low until the release.

Free as a Bird

Couldn't help but think of the Beatles "re-union" song off the Anthology disk as my WWII Trainer Plane proceeded take-off into sunny skies high above Kitty Hawk and Manteo off Roanoke Island. I've always been drawn towards WWII aircraft and the sexiness of a machine that is run by man and is not a slave to its system.

Modern Aviation is based on computer, charts and eeekk..gasp...Math.





Aviation of yesterday drew upon these things, but you didn't need to learn how to do calculations as much as you just had to have a feel for the machine and "work" yourself into it.

Flying in this war machine that eats gallons of the thick and sticky black remains of dinosaur bones every trip was the stuff that dreams are made of. Suddenly, certain ghost of the past or preoccupations just didn't seems relevant anymore. Certain hang ups I had 5 years ago seems trivial today. It was suddenly okay that sometimes things don't go the way you plan, and maybe the goal of life isn't to lock in "forever" and live through it, but to have fun LIVING "forever".

Yeah the best laids plans can fail, and people that you think are your life support turn out to be your cancer, but if you have the courage and strength to turn around, walk away, and say, I can do a little better than this shit, well, guess what? You can.

This all might sound pretty young, and maybe when I get over the 3-0 hill, I'll think differently, but what's the fun in living if you can't live. What's the fun of "being' if you can't "be". Thanks Capt. Challace.






"Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?

Where did we lose the touch
that seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...

Free as a bird,
like the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird."
