I just typed a long letter to a friend and now my hands are cramped up. I think I'm a candidate for arthritis in about 10 more years. I better live it up til' then eh? My mom is the friggin shizzle my dizzle as she makes me breakfast every morning.
Tomorrow I go into the recording studio to finish an EP for the BRUCE LEE BAND. Super duper SKA stuff. I'm definitely trying to emulate the sounds of the 2-tone movement of the 80's in Britain. A little bit of MADNESS and the SPECIALS of course to influence the sounds. Even my ex-Skankin' Pickle band mate Lars Nylander is coming in to help out with some vocals. Should be a lot of fun.
I've been listening to some old SKA vinyl releases. POTATO 5, BOB MARLEY and some DESMOND DEKKER. Good stuff. Does anyone listen to this stuff anymore? It's a shame if they don't. I've got so many REGGAE/DUB/SKA records that I've been neglecting. Again, me bad.
My record player is on its last legs. The needle needs replacing and the unit itself looks ready to die. I remember buying it years ago and at the time it was the cheapest record player I could find, but it's lasted nearly 20 years.
Ok, 5 more days til' I leave for tour. Hopefully I'll see some friendly faces around the US. Be well everyone and smile big!!
