I had a tremendous trip to my homeland for Easter! The Daves and I played several fun shows around town, and I had a great time seeing all the Pittsburgh folk! We even played on the radio for WDVE’s Friday Morning Show. I broke a string on the air! It’s every guitar player’s nightmare, but we recovered quite nicely and it afforded Dake Yarkovsky two bass solos instead of his usual one! Here’s some photos from the DVE Morning Show. Keep an eye out for the recording from the DVE studio. As soon as I get a copy from the engineer, I’ll post it in the Bootlegs section.
Also, I was so happy with the way my de-fretted tele turned out! That’s right! A fretless guitar! Jimmy Relja is the best guitar repairman (Jim’s Guitar Works West Elizabeth, PA 412-384-2518)! I was able to extensively try it out at the Blues Jam in Irwin, PA headed by none other than The Duke, Gil Snyder of The Mystic Knights Band! It’s a little tricky playing chords, but I started to get the hang of it throughout the night and at the shows with The Daves!
So, now I’m back out in Los Angeles recording my next release and starting to form a new band out here. Also, I saw Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Jeff Beck for the first time the other night at The El Rey Theatre! Wow, he truly is a genius, and I don’t throw that word around lightly! It was an honor to witness such greatness in person! And he was very appreciative of his audience. A class act. I wonder how seeing that show will impact the rest of my album. Who knows?
