We're all moved in and starting our second year back in Maryland. I'm playing in two different bands: I play bass in a Monkees tribute group called The Stepping Stones, and I play lead guitar and sax in a classic rock group known as Pandora's Box. The Monkees band is the more interesting, conceptually. I never knew they recorded so many great songs. It's been an education, plus this is the first band in which I've been a full-time bass player, so I'm learning new things about the bass, too.

Pandora's Box is a great bunch of guys, and this is educational, too, since it's the first time since 1978 since I held down the lead guitar position. Lead guitar is hard, because you need to be able to go smoothly from rhythmic background playing into soloing, right on cue. Plus you have to be able to kind of mimic other guitar players. I think once this group is gigging regularly, I'll finally be able to call myself a guitarist, without fear of contradiction. And of course I'm such a freakin' awesome sax player that i don't even bother rehearsing! LOL

Also...Finishing up an illustrated children's book and a softporn comic book. How's that for a double play! What else, nowwww...

Mmm, can't think of anything.
