A quick note to say we're back at The Naked Bean on Friday @ 8 pm. I've been preoccupied with prepping for recording and getting us ready to play in the Krewe of Centaur parade. The wintery weather we've had this year makes me worry about the prospect of playing outside in the afternoon/evening in late February. We shall see.
I'm really looking forward to hitting the new material. I'd like to write a couple new songs, but the crop I have is really strong. And I'm inspired to take some new approaches on this batch that I've never taken. More on that later.
I had an interesting conversation with my old friend Jim Lyles about the album as an art form. Essentially we talked about how people view collections of songs less and less a necessity in the world of online sales of individual songs. I agree this makes the "album" less important, but I still think of songs in the context of albums. I guess I'm old school. Surprise, surprise...
how cool is it that I get to say "That's my Dr" and point to a float during the Mardi Gras parade? :) You rock Dr. Maranto.
