Weekly Update - April 5 - 11th - Memory Lane

I was planning to sort of relax into April and work on some more studio projects, but the  month is already keeping me very busy.  Monday I worked and gave a lesson on my way home.  Tuesday I worked and looked at a drum-set with Michelle Lynn so we can more easily rehearse without her needing to make the trek to Onalaska.  Also had another Moth Mountain/WigglePuppy practice with Joe and Jaran on Tuesday night.  I am getting a better handle on the songs and more used to playing bass again and really having a lot of fun.

Wednesday I had the day off and spent a portion of the day getting a better handle on some new studio equipment as well as doing my best to remember a number of old Rearview Mirror songs.  I also learned that edits had been completed on my recent interview with Mark Judkins Helpsmeet for the "Song of The Soul" radio program on Northern Spirit Radio.  It was fun to do a longer in-depth interview that really dug into the spiritual side of the music and you can check out the full interview by clicking HERE.

Thursday I worked.  Friday I had the day off and busied my self with a variety of spring cleaning / organizational tasks as well as some more practice of old RVM songs.  Friday night I headed down to Bodega to drum for Nick Shattuck from 9 to 1.  The show was a lot of fun and I experimented with bringing down an even smaller kit as I don't feel talented enough to need all that many drums.

Saturday I headed down to Iowa for a rehearsal with the original Rearview Mirror lineup.  We got some practicing in and a lot of good time to hang out and catch up.  Slowly but surely we will prepare for a show or two this Fall.  We also happened upon a full box of original Blown Out albums which we all thought were gone, get your copy before they actually are gone for good today by clicking HERE.
