May 14th
It is another gray Saturday. I am only playing the Cafe de Paris this week
but next weekend will be the double decker, Cafe and Provinces. We are looking
into new venues for the band and I hope some things I am pursuing will come
to fruition. I want to do some shows with the guys!
Josh is working on some recording with the members of Freedom's band who live here in the area. He was quite excited last night as he headed over to Rob Peebler's house to begin tracking some new songs. Man, his playing is amazing. I spent about a half an hour trying learn one of his finger picking patterns a couple of weeks ago. Where does he get that?

I talked to Freedom and he said the show at the Jet Deck went great. He said
Josh really rocked and that they pulled off a Lead Zeppelin tune that brought
the house down. He is continuing to right at least every other day as he gets
more into working his construction job in Arizona and buying a house with
Natalie. I wish he lived up here where the rest of the band now lives. Josh
said he enjoyed playing and used the new PODxt Live and was happy
with the sounds he got.

Silent T team goes to Clearwater Beach, Florida
in search of new opportunities for film and recording.
What we discovered so far on this trip is that early May is too soon to come
here due to the weather conditions and the absence of activities that would
support our graphic and recording businesses. We did find a fair number of
establishments that have live music starting from as early as 10AM. Most bars
roll up the stage for live music by 10PM in this particular area. It has to
do with city ordinances in establishments in close proximity to the beach.
We also learned the importance of making sure sun screen is evenly applied
and with frequent repetitions. That is it in a nutshell at this point of the
excursion.
