“Everybody pays to play” so they say.  So I say.  Lately it’s work work work for me and the boys.  New tunes, stories, studio, and times.  I’ve been working odd jobs, and random part timers trying to keep the bills met, and somehow I’ve managed to keep my afternoon Woodlea sessions.  They’re productive and enjoyable lately.  Joel and I’ve recently been able to spend a lot of time on guitar parts and arrangements, Matt’s got new toys (plug ins) to play with, and Josh continues to impress me with his take on the big picture.  He’s turned into quite the lyricist and band leader.  The “new guys” Jordan, and Jack are always working hard. Probably harder than all of us, and keeping the ball rolling with positive vibes. Things are working, gears are turning, in the House of Fools camp.

Personally’s another story.  Always is.  Wouldn’t you love for me to tell it?? No you wouldn’t. I’m dreaming of ways to go see Thin Lizzy (without Lynott r.i.p.) in London next year.  I think I’ll start playing the lottery again. Even though I gave up that addiction for my recent Mario 64 vice. Go see Gary Moore, meet some Brits, drink some pints, then come back and buy a brand new car, rig, and house for me and my better half.  Keep your fingers crossed for me ay?  Today’s been…strange.  Woke late, exercised, made music, and watched the crazy owl family outside our
studio.  Jack will tell you more about that later I’m sure.  Owl’s are looked at as evil in some cultures and folklore. I don’t know about these guys.  I think they just dig the tunes and wild rabbits in our yard. Maybe we’ll name a song after them.  I heard Zeppelin named “Black Dog” after a black dog that would come up to their studio and  listen to that song in particular when they were working it out. Lots of rain in North Carolina this week.  I hope the weather holds out for our roof jam at Greene Street tomorrow night.
Bring a guitar, or whatever and join us.
