Okay. Welp, uhm, couple days late outta the gate. Last week was a weird week. Bit down. Bit blue. For sure didn’t feel myself. Lot of second guessing going on. Things just not flowing. But it ended on a high so maybe that’s were we should start?
Yup. Added a new amp to the fam. Got a pretty sweet deal on a Limited Edition Fender Blues Jr. That’s the one with the Celestion Greenback in it. So it’s a really interesting combination. It’s got that clean and bright Fender sonic profile coming thru the darker Celestion and I’m pleased to say that it’s pairing up really nice with the Marshall Class 5, that I scored the other month. Need to spend some more time dialing in tones but I’m believing that they’re gonna prove to be good buddys. Now and some might contest my motivation, the reason I jumped on this deal was so I could move on my old Princeton. Was seeing how much they are going for these days and thought to myself – self, if you could turn that beauty around for a decent pile of scratch then you could either A. Get those two teeth with the bad fillings sorted or B. Use that money to get ya closer to getting that new laptop you been needing. Hmmm, need to think on it some more. Good teeth are important, but then so is my work. Laptop is from about 2010. Came to me used back in 2015? Good buddy Steve Caruso helped me get it suped up. Extra RAM and all. Really has served me well but ya gets to where ya can’t update anything. Already can’t use IMovie. And dang would it be nice to be able to make use of the most current edition of Photoshop. Or heck I could even graduate from Garageband to Logic. Wouldn’t that be sweet? Anyhow need to get the old gal cleaned up. Have had that Princeton since 2004. Been together for near on 20 years now. Scored her to use when playing with Just About To Burn. Sound persons in these rock venues couldn’t get our sound right. Plugging in direct was resulting in tons of feedback. Figured an amp was the way to go. Gave me a better monitor and most behind the sound desk can mic an amp. Worked like a charm. Anyhoo. New days. New ways. Excuse me a sec… …bit of a racket from downstairs. Looks like our cat Appomattox (Matty to her friends), is a mouser. Ate it whole. Eh, guess I’ll get back to this a little later. On account of the racket rest of house is waking up now. Hard for me to write with all them distractions. Gonna grab another cuppa and watch the morning headlines. Next day. 5:43 in the AM. Fresh pot of joe. Here we go. Reading back, lot of rambling on about amps, eh maybe couple of ya might find it interesting. Moving on. Parked a new instrumental only, solo guitar track on Soundcloud. Another SUNNYLAND song writing endeavor that turned out to be a wrestling match. Reasonably pleased with the arrangement now. Working title is 'Good Damn Day For The Next Big Thing.' Embedded a link in the side bar. Get an earful. Drop a comment. Curious to know where it takes you. What you see in your musical minds eye. And speaking of SUNNYLAND, had a brief exchange with Joseph Megel the Artistic Director at The Process Series. Me, and the lady friend had gone to catch one of this seasons performances. Rap and Redemption. Powerful stuff. After the chat back Joseph grabbed me and asked when I’d like to kick my performance. Told spring time. Like around now. And hey this is something cool. Have an actual mention as an “intriguing project for our upcoming season.” A short blurb and yeah not exactly accurate but hey it was pretty darn cool to see my name on the back of the program. It’s the little things. Okay, think we'll leave it there. Links for SUNNYLAND stuff there in the side bar. And as ever follow along on Instagram and Facebook for more regular updates. Til next time.

Say hi everybody to the latest addition to the fam. Limited Edition Blues Jr with a Celestion Greenback. Digging the sound. Brightenss of the Fender with the darker earthy tones of the Greenback. Pairing nice with the Class 5.
Here's that Class 5 that also recently followed me home. Okay welp not exactly followed and if you were to ask I do in fact have a perfectly good explanation as to why the Marshall got to ride up front and the Blues Jr ended up in the back.
