My good friend Kyle who I’ve talked about here before sent me a few more photos he just got developed from this summer, and they’re great to have. The first is from a show we played in Rugby, UK where it was raining fairly hard all day and no one really seemed to care. What is strange is how they all sat unprompted about 8 feet back from the stage. Weird. Canadians scare people maybe. Or we’re completely unattractive humans, that could be too. The second is David and Alan rocking it outside at Al’s place. I love rehearsing there. The third is me at Hirtle’s beach, one of my favorite places. Lucky to have this photo of it.

Got some good work done on this little remix, here’s where part of it’s heading. I can’t seem to do anything lately without inserting some sort of psychedelic freak out, so there’s one going in there too. It needs to sound a little more drug induced yet, I’ll hopefully finish it off and post it tomorrow.

I’m headed to go see the Art of Time Ensemble in a few, I’m excited. They’re playing the music from Abbey Road, and apparently it’s sounding super cool. Tribute stuff always makes me a bit uneasy, but there’s some pretty amazing performers and arrangers so I’m not too worried.

I hope you’re having a good Sunday dinner somewhere nice.
