Quick update before I get back to blogging again…
The Halloween Storm did a number on things here at the ranch. A few trees down, a week without power, and a general setback for musical, photographic, and otherwise enjoyable productivity. If productivity involved a rake or a chainsaw, then yes, it has been a productive period.
Got a gig coming up with two NHIC groups at Firehouse12 on December 3rd. 8:30pm and 10:00pm. The first is nhic:atlas, a six-piece mostly acoustic affair. I am playing my Tacoma CB10F fretlsss ABG and it sounds really nice with this group. The second is NHIC Electric, a noisy electric affair. That is a job for the Zon Sonus. I am in hog-heaven as a bass player because Atlas will have Mike Paolucci on drums, and he played in my short-lived jazzy Soul Cryptographers band. I really enjoy playing with Mike and it is good to be working with him again. NHIC Electric will have Peter Riccio on drums, and that is VERY badass. I had been hoping that we would have this opportunity, and it is sounding very nice in rehearsal.
If there is any bright side to this “winter” it is that we are still getting warm temps. Last weekend I put on about 20 miles on the bike, in short sleeves! getting that opportunity after Thanksgiving in New England is rare. I am definitely not complaining. My friend Chris James calls it Global Weirding… Well, let’s keep it weird! Oh… rising sea level and food chain disruption? P’shaw!
