2007 Pt.2

Another much needed update today. Lately I have had a hard time believing how fast time passes. In the last year and a halfish I have recorded three different versions of the album, and am working on the fourth version, yet it seems like I started not that long ago. Unfortunately I didn’t but I am still trucking away at it. I hope it is worth the wait for anyone who cares to listen and worth the effort for me personally.

Well version 4 is starting to sound like the one that will eventually be heard by the public, for better or for worse i need to finish this project and move on to another. As of today and just judging from the drums, it sounds more like Led Zeppelin than the Stones if that means anything. Ideally it will sound more like me than Led Zeppelin when im done.

For better or worse ive decided to nix the inclusion other musicians for this current incarnation. I hate having people come into to record and do all these great musical things only to scrap the track and do it again. Ive also decided that im going to be playing here and there acoustically in the near future instead of trying to do the whole band thing until the record is done. As far as Red Rock Rebellion goes, I would classify the group as “in limbo”, not because of personal issues or anything of that sort, but the group has lost interest in playing covers. The gigs have played recently are probably the best we have done as a three piece, but they are few and far between. After working primarily by myself for the last while, im starting to miss the traditional sitting in the garage with real people hacking through songs. It really is the best part of playing music. I wish to return to that as soon as possible.

Just for the hell of it im going to make my semi-annual album release prediction how about October 31st? Wouldnt that be frightening?
