PGR Highlights Now Available

Hey Soul Mates,
if you're reading this right now, you're home on a Saturday night. Or maybe Sunday morning. I've spent my evening editing my appearance on Pop Garden Radio into the Reader's Digest version. It took a while. Had to cut out the music that DJ Adam Waltemire spun, including ours, for legal reasons and to condense it from 2 hours to 19 minutes. Listening to it back, it's kind of revealing... and every bit as informal as our Monday Show appearance. I hope you will enjoy it. Just click NOW or on the title above and you can stream the track from our website. It will be available for a limited time. It's only 4 MB so it shouldn't take fast carriers too long to access. The compression makes it sound like how it would through AM radio (which it was broadcast on last week); but I do have a supremely clean version. If you want to hear the sweet digital version, e-mail me and I'll arrange it for you. Remember, this is streaming audio, please be patient. And I do recommend realplayer for playback.

There are pictures up on our website of my visit to WMEL. Check them out, too. That way you can put faces and places with the audio. Fans from MySpace and WPB, listen for that shout out. Hard to fathom that my visit to Melbourne was a week ago. Literally. This time last Saturday, Eastern Standard Time, we were just driving back to Vero from the station. I'm still jet-lagged.

We've been busy this week: sending out press kits and contacting and being contacted by numerous podcasters about being added to their shows. Stay tuned, we'll let you know which shows pick us up.

Managed to get a flu shot today. What a relief. Last year, I didn't get one and there was hell to pay. The Doc did give this bit of free advice: Saline nasal spray. Kinda like the Graduate... "Plastics." Anyway, he told me that a couple of hits of that each day will keep the flu bug away. So I pass that along to you.

Finally, I found a really nice Ted Baker suit deeply discounted. Nothing like looking good on the cheap. It's a classic grey, 2 button suit. Just watched Cary Grant in North By Northwest. Damn, he looks suave in a similar get-up. Watch out, y'all.

Love, Power, Peace

Coast To Coast

Hey Soul Mates,
just a quick, jet-lagged blog. After all, I woke up at 4 a.m. PST to go swimming in the Atlantic to watch the sunrise. We had a great family weekend in Vero Beach, Fla. Grandma really enjoyed the 5 day celebration of her 90th birthday. I spent a lot of time in the ocean with my uncles and cousins. Also got my butt kicked by a couple of waves. Especially, yesterday at low tide, the Atlantic was relentless. By this a.m. I had my sea legs back. It was great to see the extended family. The weather really cooperated, too. Hardly a cloud and only a few drops of rain this morning. Happy Birthday (which is today), Gmom.

The interview for Pop Garden Radio on Saturday night went well. I was on with DJ/host Adam Waltemire on WMEL for most of the 2 hour show. He played all 4 tracks from our new EP. We chatted on air, and off, about the LA music scene in particular. Adam is a big fan of several of the local pop bands that are friends of mine. I will try to edit a little of the broadcast so you can hear some of the interview. There are also some fun pix of yours truly at the station. It's your quintessential southern radio station: small brick building with a huge antenna outside, surrounded by tropical trees and little else.










Tomorrow is Sam Moore's (of Sam & Dave) 70th birthday. Much love, Sam. Hold On, I'm Coming! I wish I could tell him happy birthday in person. Maybe next year.

Time for me to go to sleep. I think I've managed to wash most of the salt, sand and chlorine out of my hair. See you in a few months, Florida.

Love, Power, Peace.
