Not too much to report this week as one of the bands tim and i are in with Jeff Ulrich (the Ringout) had a show on monday, so the usual session was off. We played in Somerville, NJ at a burger joint. Yes, a burger restaurant. Like with a big counter with registers and guys in red uniforms working the grill. They moved all the tables out of the way, set up a PA, and let the good times roll. We ate burgers and rocked. Actually, Jeff had a burger and i had rice pudding. The show was ok, it was the second show we've done with our new bass player Scott, who is working out superbly. We love him. Not too much to note about the night other than me locking the keys in the van and having to pay 100 dollars to some guy to come out at 11 PM and pick his way into it. Good Times indeed. So a couple days later, Tim and I were back in the studio wth a local band who finished early and we decided to make up for not doing a New Ancients session on monday. We didn't get much accomplised other than scratching out some stuff... here's a pic of tim and the laptop running Ableton Live providing sweet sweet drum beats for bed tracks for "Paper Sky":

I've also done some prelim acoustic drum and bass parts, and the great Anthony Sole was here with some tasty guitar playing on "These Burdens". Hard to believe we are actually making progress. More to come next week for sure - hopefully some more videos too.
