First, a disclaimer: this post has all the hallmarks of a Shameless Self-Promotion Diary (and is so tagged--and posted in the wee hours), despite the seriousness of the subject matter.
Second, endless, boundless, ceaseless thanks to jlms qkw, without whose offhand comment this would not have been possible. Or necessary. Whatevs.
I haven't been able to write here for a bit. My pal Bimbo got her Rock and Soul Searching Show back on WTUL and asked me to work up a few promos, so I've been getting a studio tan for a few days.
Still, jlms qkw's comment hit such a damned strong chord, I figured I'd strike while the iron's hot and oily. With the aid of my old pard and mentor, the inestimably skilled John Autin, I slammed together a quick demo and video of what resulted, which I humbly here present:
Cut me a little slack, okay? It was a one-take runthrough vocal on a quick demo. And the video is my first, really just a slideshow of stuff 'round these parts.
Feel free to post, paste, link, embed or even make your own movie around the song, though a more complete version is on the way. Copyright info for the words, music, images is on the video, for what that's worth.
I hope you enjoy the presentation, and I'm looking forward to ditching this real world business and getting back to some serious blogging soon.
Peace, all, and drive less if you can.
