Updates

I have updated the shows page at eric-coleman.com and on my myspace account.

I'm still not sure how, but I am making Duckon. Jan convinced me that I must by asking me to do something that I don't get asked very often.

She wants me to do an all serious set.

NO ONE ever asks me for my serious songs (well, rarely anyway).

How can I resist?

Also Conquest, JVL-Con and of course Mahtowa in August.

So there is a light at the end of the tunnel that doesn't seem to be a train ...

Now I'm gonna go back upstairs and record.

FUNFUNFUN

edit Oh ... duh ... Demicon too

Roman Wall Blues

Down here recording ... Just did a killer version of Roman Wall Blues ...

I'm still not getting the voice quite right, but a lot of compression and some echo works wonders.

I'm being followed

By my terrible voice

Ok, The Book Of Weird went a long ways today.

The story. I was out singing with Cryn one night, doing Midnight Oil songs, Bowie songs, Psychedelic Furs songs. After Ziggy Stardust a friend of Cryn's said "well, you certainly pulled that out of your book of weird". I decided that needed to be the name of the covers CD.

So, I played guitar a lot today, played mandolin this evening and then went and played tonight at Boheme. My voice is shot, and my fingers are screaming. I did a safety set tonight.

Nice Guys
Bang My Bald Spot
Only Coffee House In Town
How Can I Miss You
Trophy Wife (a request, since I blanked on what to close with)

A good solid set, didn't play things too fast, only a little fast.

It was a fun day.
