I'm going to leave something hidden at the Java Hut for you.....I'll give you clues as to what it's going to be. But not right now.....I'm too tired to be creative.
Hey Geoff, thought you might get a kick out of a new demo I posted. I haven't touched my crappy banjo or mandolin in forever so I stupidly decided to record a tune that features both! It's some out of tune goodness but wtf. hehe. I built the song by editing a banjo improv so it's raw! See you Friday.
I'm playing a full band set tomorrow (Wed. 2/28) at Johnny D's in Somerville from 8:30-10:00 PM. The band is killer! If you're free, I'd love to see you!
And thanks for recommending Powderfinger Promotions (Nimbit). They have been amazing!
Geoff- I'm listening to your cd right now. I dig it- I like the writing, and the ideas you come up with. Sounds great- thanks for sending it out. I'll have to return the favor. I should have a disc to give you in a month or two. Hope all's well.
Joe
