Putting together a new album -- one song at a time. It's just easier on my time and budget to do it this way. Just recording one song and putting it up on the Bandcamp page for this new album. And then, later on when I can afford to record another tune, I get the guys together to rehearse and record that one, which I also put up on the same Bandcamp page. Gonna keep doing it this way for this record, until I reach 10 songs, or 35 minutes. Making the songs available for free DL until the album is full. At that point, I'm gonna get the whole thing mastered and slap a price tag on it. Call it an

I'm thinking that I should probably post an example of Duane's playing since nobody else here probably knows who the hell he is. Pure taste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50k-dCwV6SU And he's like that all over the couple of Roky albums that he plays on.

I think that an argument can be made that they were a different band the moment that Gene Clark left (was kicked out?). He was the first real songwriter/driving force that the band had.

But then, I'm not all that familiar with the 70s stuff so maybe I should reserve judgement.

I'm here.

My father (a Teamster) worked with Jerry on Oceans Eleven and Oceans Twelve when they shot here in Chicago. And my grandfather's name was also Jerry Weintraub, so my dad and the producer had a connection there. Not only that my dad was one of the only Jewish Teamsters that he had ever met, but they also shared a last name, and Jerry actually had the same name as my dad's father. One day while they were shooting one of the "Oceans" movies, Jerry asked my dad to go pick up his grandchildren at the airport—a boy and a girl. He told my dad their names—Annette and Joseph. My dad freaked out a littl

This. Exactly.

I wouldn't say that my love of music is declining at ALL. However, as I get older, the ability of music to actually change my life is certainly down near nil. I'm too old for that. But the love is still there. I listen for near 7 hours a day, maybe more.
