My dinga-ling!!!!!

Hey people, I am now done with Christmas! (I am sure most of you guys are too!)

Yesterday I bought a very good cd called "The Best of Chuck Berry: the Millenium Collection". It was very reasonably priced. Yes, I am a fan of the oldies. I identify with Chuck a lot, he's the kind of guy I imagine myself being like someday. He's kind of devilish, but charming! I aspire to be like him someday! His picture on the cover is so cool, he's all sweaty and shit. He didn't have a single hit until he was 30 yearsold, and his first number one hit was in 1972 with the novelty song "My dinga-ling". I also identify heavily with that song!

Well people, I hope you heard the commercial I made for the band! I am always recording new stuff. I recorded a new track yesterday too. I am considering making a trip out to a2 to a special place with a sale on beverages. Heck, I might even play an open mic tonight, but you know what? I can get a lot more band for my buck going to the cheaper bar instead! I am not so desperate for validation that I am going to pay 5 bucks for a beer, so I can play for a roomful of people who don't care much anyways. 

I am not a MR PARTIER, but I NEVER regret making special trips to a2 with my friends! I am hoping my friends get back to me and want to make the trip!

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
