[slavemason]

I'm afraid all I have to offer is excuses. I've got some stuff recorded but it's not on the net anywhere. I suppose that I could have figured out some way to get it uploaded but I guess I'm lazy. However, I have been quite busy playing music. This made me think of all the bands I was in last year.
Portabella was more of a recording project with alot of acoustic instruments. We made to the stage a few times, then I bailed out.
Ted Tourette and Hushpuppies was drunken quartet. We played bluegrass, classic country, ragtime and swing tunes, and some Irish drinking ballads. We played for beer at a nice German restaurant and a few bars in town. This band has all but fallen apart.
Three Time Losers was a garage rock band. It was pretty fun but got old quick. If it didn't sound like something you've heard a thousand times, then it was too far "out there". So I was out of there.
Champagne of Tiny Beers is the art-fag band. The songwriter is a great guy but likes to talk about how "less is more", and at the same time put way too many changes in a song. This band is still going.
Finally there's JT and the Blame. I like this band the best because I get to write songs and sing and make a general ass of myself. We're a two piece, drums and bass (with piccolo strings). It's not a dance band, just simple songs ranging from rock to country to jazz to complete shit. This band is a lot easier to maintain, I hope it last a long time.
Sorry to ramble on so. It's just nice to know that I can't sum up my year with "Drank beer, smoked weed, jerked off" like so many years before.
I suppose I should make my new year's resolution be, learning to utilize the net.
