It had to be done

Well people, it looks like I have to teach my classes for the children today. I love teaching the children, I know they are the only few people left that actually look up to me/ respect me. It is the sad truth, that when you are a guitar player, past a certain age, most ladies put what you do on the same level as a hobby like playing video games or something. At least my mommy still believes in me, and all of the precious people who read my blogs. heheh ehh e

Right now I am in the middle of my cover art for a concept album I thinking of releasing, I won't go into much detail, but I will tell you that the cover art is being done right now. I haven't decided how many tracks are going to be on it. It is basically going to be a compilation of tracks I have done this year. Expirimental tracks. Think more of what Miles Davis did in the early 70's, except from a guitar player's perspective. I might upload a sample of it once I get the rest of my gear from an associates house.

I do have some good news about our show on December 3rd. I just found out yesterday Koji will be joining us on bass. I also have a drummer, Tom who is going to replacing the other drummer Jake. I don't mean to gossip,  but this basically had to be done. I feel a lot more calm about things knowing this news. Wish me luck, and have an excellent day!

My voice is being silenced by the liberal media

Some people may be aware that a group I perform in, the Ill Itches, will be having a record release this Friday at the Marble bar here in Detroit. The band has done several interviews where the interviewer emails the band questions and we each answer them. In one such interview, all of my answers were omitted, and I heard from the other band members the music journalist got mad because I didn't take the interview seriously enough. I feel like I am in high school again. Here is a link to the interview as published: Ill Itches DeepCutz Interview. It was partly this incident with this interview that inspired me to start writing my own blog again. I really meant no ill-will with my answers to these questions. I just felt like the questions were "leading questions". You know what I'm talking about, questions where the interviewer is really looking for a specific response from the subject. I know the interviewer wanted me to get all sentimental and retrospective ab

That time I bought a Guitar for $1 at Guitar Center

Image
When I had just graduated high school, I was still working my job at a grocery store. I made enough money to go guitar shopping. I used to drive from rural Lenawee county to Toledo OH to get to Guitar Center. One day I heard a radio ad for a Guitar Center Labor Day Sale on September 5th, 2005. At this point in my life, Guitar Center was something I had only recently discovered. This ad was extra special... the loud demanding voice on the radio ad claimed Guitar Center was going to be selling guitars for just $1! The night before the sale, I drove down to the Guitar Center and arrived at about 10:30 pm. I began waiting at the front door of the business. I remember texting some of my friends from the grocery store I worked at, they ended up joining me about an hour later. Then, two other small town guys that went to my high school showed up randomly. The first 6 or 7 people in line, (me being first of course) were all from Lenawee county! I thought this was sort of funny because we a
