        It's been a while, what's going on?  Post your feedback and comments in my guest book.

        November went by so fast, it is all a blur.  Here is what I remember:  First, John Mazz and the FLO played 3 gigs--two at Woody's and one at Sweet Dreams.  Second, there was an incredible marathon rehearsal with T amidst all the FLO gigging.  We caught that on CD, so we'll be able to go back and pull apart what we did.  Third, I bought an E-mu Workstation!  What is an E-mu?  Well, it's this incredible little sequencer/sampler that allows you to sequence up to 16 tracks at a time.  I have already written a few songs/various drum beat and rhythm tracks, etc.  It's amazing how quickly the ideas start flowing with this machine.  The E-mu will be an incredible asset to not just my solo bass recordings, but everyone I work with from now on.  It will undoubtedly appear on John Mazz's album--he and I have already spoken about using it for some of his songs.  Fourth, I neglected to post anything other than show times on my website!

        The rest of December is going to be utter chaos as I try and fit in two more gigs, another marathon T practice, and all my Christmas shopping while having to work 50+ hours a week in retail!  Then, before I can blink, it will all be over.  And once it's over, it will be time to start recording John's CD!  I must be destined never to sleep!  (haha)

        I don't know if I will be able to post another entry this month.  If not, have a safe and happy holiday.  Thanks for visiting the site and checking up on me.  Merry Christmas!
