So I'm just gonna start putting out music.  We've got one tune in the can, and almost finished.  I'm gonna post it somewhere when it's done.  I have PLENTY of tunes to record. I'm guessing I'll try and get an album together tat some point also, but first things first:  gettin' something done.

Goal: new tune number one in two/three weeks.  That gives me plenty of time to finish overdubs and mix it, I think.

onward!

Steve Ruhm, my ye olde drummist from Say ZuZu flies private jets for a living.  He prolly figured he had a better chance of flying in one if he learned to fly it himself.  God knows Say ZuZu was never destined to have one.   We woulda been freaked out anyway.  Skynyrd and Otis Redding and Buddy Holly kinda ruined that idea for us.  Anyhoo, seems he was just about to go nuts unless he started playing music again, even casually.  Friday midday became an informal jam with Steve …

I'm mixing the new Tim McCoy and The Papercuts record this week!  This, my friends, is a good thing, because it comes out in three weeks.  Yikes.  Mix number one tomorrow.  Cross yer fingers.

Also...
Found an old cassette tape(!) full of half finished songs.  Got the wheels spinning a bit.  I know, I know. I'll believe it when I see it too.

Lastly...
Today was one of those hazy, slightly humid days that we usually only get in June or July.  Lucked out and snagged one in May.  Awesome.
