Trying to get a real gig....

Okay, so today, Im sitting at home, trying to get stuff underway. 14 days on the road right at the beginning of the year was nice, but I feel like I am two months behind. Im in rehearsal for a play...I've taped a commercial and had half a dozen auditions. Theme park shows are picking back up. Photography is picking up and the drum show as well. Only insects specialize and right now, I kind of wish I was one. Too many irons in the fire and all of them are too warm to pull a few out. But, who knows which one will get the hottest. I'm having a blast, don't get me wrong, but it would be nice to really settle into one. One big one. One seriously assume huge one. Then everything else would fall into place. The one man show. The books. The pictures.
Until then. Just keep doing what I do I guess.

Been on the road..

I'm finally back. Dealing with jet lag. Odd hours. Lots of catching up to do.
I was performing with RePercussion. And now we are setting up our new website.
Trashcandrummers.com. Things are really happening with a very simple show.
We also have a competitor that has basically stolen our show. Well, bits and pieces anyway. They are also approaching all of our past performance spaces and under bidding us and trying to get all of our shows. It's kind of amusing actually. Competition is good, so that is fine, and this guy and band is really amusing. He is trying to take good clients away from us... and they are telling me all about it. Im running into drummers he has used and they are telling me about him and the show. It would be nice if he could find his own niche and maybe someday he will, but until then... I just keep playing and hearing about the "other guy" and... " who is he...?"
Someday he may replace us... but until then... maybe he can check out our new site and find out the gigs he can try to get next year. Until then, if you want to see our band... go to the site mentioned above...if you want to see his band... ask yourself why ... lol

and now for a brief mention from the sponsors of the Beach Report...

Since it's right around the corner, here is where to go to get
valentines day flowers and if you have something to sell, maybe you should consider
Internet Marketing and after youre done doing all the hard work and buying all the gifts, take your sweetheart to a movie like this one failure to launch

A Great YEAR UNDERWAY !!!!

From our view....



HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

What an awesome start to a great new year. Citiwalk had Laura ( I won't disclose her last name in case she would rather not be associated with me.. ;-) ) and I host the countdown and the crowd was amazing. The feeling was amazing and I hope people enjoyed the show.
As I sit here and type at this very moment the rain is falling and the crowds are gathering a few hundred feet from my door to see the Rose Parade. Odd to see it on the second, and so moist... but it's a parade!!

A great sponsor once told me :
You can wear gold jewelry , or watch silver prices
and see what happens, but be careful, because there is nothing worse than a
New York personal injury or a junkyard dog.
