WELL THE "HOT~AS~HELL" WEEKEND IS JUST ABOUT OVER!
NOT ONLY DID THE WEATHER SUCK, WE EVEN GOT A WILDFIRE SITUATION IN THE SIERRA MOUNTAINS.
TYPICAL HOT WEATHER: HEAT, HUMIDITY AND FIRES.
IT SUCKS!
ANYWAY, TODAY'S REHEARSAL SESSION WAS KILLER! WE POLISHED 3 NEW SONGS TO ADD TO THE SET LIST AND I CAN NOT WAIT TO UNLEASH THEM WITH THE GUYS! BEING A MEMBER OF IRON MTN. HAS MADE ME TAKE MY CRAFT MORE SERIOUSLY THESE DAYS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE JUST ANY DRUMMER, I WANT TO BE A GREAT DRUMMER! AND WITH THE NEW SONGS WE'RE DOING, IT MAKES IT THAT MUCH SPECIAL TO PLAY!
I TALKED WITH BILL BEFORE LEAVING THE STUDIO AND HE TOLD ME SOMETHING THAT MADE ME FELL PRETTY DAMN GOOD. HE SAID THAT THE NEW SONGS WE'RE CURRENTLY WRITING IS STUFF THEY'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT THEIR LAST DRUMMER COULDN'T DO THE THINGS I AM CAPABLE OF DOING. (STOKED!) AAAANNNDDD THAT I WAS ABLE TO GIVE THEIR OLD SONGS MORE STRUCTURE THAN EVER BEFORE!!! (SUPER-STOKED!) WITH TODAY'S HEAT; THERE'S NOTHING LIKE PLAYING INSIDE A GARAGE WITH 5 FANS CIRCULATING HOT AIR ALL AROUND US!!! LOL!!!
THE WORK FRONT IS PRETTY WEEK, I CALLED THE "OUT-OF-WORK" LINE FOR THE UNION AND NOW AM AT 244. OK, WELL IF I CAN'T GET A SPOT IN THE WALK-IN "TRAINING" CLASS I GUESS I'M SCOPING FOR A NEW JOB, BUT IN THE MEANTIME I'M GOING BACK TO WORK FOR STAGECALL. (AT LEAST IT'S MONEY, RIGHT?)
HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU MY FELLOW READER! CHEERS!
