Too late for me to settle in for 2:41:40 of one-camera video tonight - but that is one fine "MAMU"!

Peter (who will catch more later)

Forgot about this one until a couple of days ago.

It follows the recent theme of "dark" tunes.   The mix isn't the best, it does have 2 bass tracks panned slightly left / right and displays the tonal flexibility of an Alembic. 


The darkness...
Lyrically it is a sad narrative.

Further darkness...
Jerry was the drummer on the track, he also was a co-worker.   He had several 'bassless tracks' that he shared, we connected really well musically.   Regrettably his work ethic wasn't a good fit and after an extension of his probationary period he was let go.  Two weeks later he let himself go as well. 

Jerry was a subordinate of mine.  The unfolding of his departure gives pause, wish we stayed in contact after his loss of employment, it's understood that he had other demons. We move forward.

Sorry to hear about Jerry.

Matching lipstick and guitar. Wow. Very nice playing.

Redd Volkaert lives a quiet life of semi-retirement in neighboring Floyd County, occasionally drops in for a set at the Floyd Country Store, a local music venue. He's as amazing as ever, and the supporting band is tight.





The bass player here is a buddy of mine, Dylan Locke. Dylan is part-owner of the store there. The funniest part of that is how we met... I got a call one day from a guy on the way to a gig, he got my number from a local recording studio, and desperately needed his soundpost set. Got that... on the way to the gig? Okay, well I've done housecalls on basses, so I grabbed a couple tools... mirror, light, setter, retriever, string winder, and headed to meet Dylan at a Park & Ride. I set the soundpost in that bass there on the side of I-81. We still joke about it.

Really appreciate both of those guys playing the thin stringed instruments.   

Having trouble getting online on the computer with the actual speakers, but can't wait for this (but not excited enough - or, rather too excited - to "listen" on the laptop's "speakers").  Once I get the desktop sorted, I'll on this like white on rice; Redd is amazing!
