Met John's younger brother the other day. He was in town and they were going to see the Mets play spring ball in Port St. Lucie. John is a huge baseball fan. Well it's a small world, my bestest freind Lori has a nephew who plays in the Mets organization. His name is Bobby Parnell. Well I woke up this morning and opened the New York Times and, low and behold, there was an article stating that Bobby will probably make the major league roster. Apparently he is one of their hottest young pitching prospects. Well congratulations from Elegbaland Bobby. Knowing Lori, and her unbridaled family pride, she must be gushing! By the way, Bobby was the last Met pitcher to throw a pitch in Shea stadium. Quite an honor.
John and Jeff are laying down drum tracks today on the "Wild and Free" sessions. Yesterday I was treated to an encore of Jeff playing his thighs through a Blueberry into an Api pre (must be to accentuate the lows). What a great idea. All buttons in on the MC77, you engineers know what I mean. Good to see John "Rockin", and I do mean "Rockin". John has a special way in a studio, but when he's with his closest friends, it kicks it up a notch.
"Painting the town" got bumped from the first three songs in favor of "Heroes". I always heard "Heroes" as a band song and am happy Greg thinks it's worthy of his Blackfinger mates. Very happy to be back playing guitars that plug in. There is something very empowering about a Pete Townsend power chord. Hope I still remember how.
God bless the muse. Still the reason we make song!
