it's early, but what the hey...

Greetings,

I'd like to start off by thanking the sensory gods who have blessed me with not only some decent ears, but more importantly a keen sense of smell.  And I give thanks because I have developed this crazy habit of burning toast lately.  I said it, burning toast. 

Recently, I left my home, my furniture and many of my possessions in my beloved home to do some work out in California.  Well, in my current dwelling, there is no toaster, and I like bread.  Specifically, I like whole grain sprouted "Jesus Bread", aka Ezekial Bread.  And...I also try and try to do ten things at once while at home.  So, in the past few months, I have burned some bread.  Much of it was salvageable, but tonight's finish product's contrast was like brown me standing next to the beans that I put in my press every morning.

Well, I am not writing to bore anyone with details of sacrificial bread, but to also note that I recorded vocal tracks with the Facets tonight.  We sat in the studio, or rather layed on the bed in the studio, sang to our hearts' desires and then each recorded our respective parts.  It was a fruitful evening of making recorded accounts of music making, and of sharing a tiny space with good people.  The album will be released hopefully around the new year and I am betting it's gonna be darn good, if not amazing. 

Also, the Ryan Bradley Affair played last night, in full effect.  Mario Montes, drummer extraordinaire blessed us with his beats and though it was our first time ever playing as a trio, I'd say it went very well, but it's going to get even better and better.  These guys are so good, and such awesome people.  When I met them, I had known them for only two weeks before we spent a ton of time together on a short tour to San Francisco.  I felt like I'd known them for years, and to any outside, I am sure it seemed so.

One more note on the musical front.  The final cut of the short film "The Tower's Cellar" was just completed.  I composed and performed the music for the film.  I do have a copy, but, much like my attempt at stalling/crappy story telling before my stage singing debut last night, I have yet to watch it.  Anyway, I can't wait to do more visual/musical projects.  I love the collaborative process, it's pretty amazing when it is true, kinda like love.

On to my next adventure,
