eve of the tour


so here we go, the tour begins tomorrow morning
i will drive in my car to timothy's house and we will
take his ride to the south, the land of pork bbq
i'm looking forward, with great anticipation, to playing
with tim on this tour. the past few months we've
been making some good decisions musically. we're both relaxing
our guards a bit. i think about tim's abilities and
am honored to play his tunes and have him play mine.
we often ask each other about whether a song is good. they're good.
we know. but we need to be reminded. sometimes tim's talent
seems bottomless. and his perfect pitch is commanding. i feel
that of the two of us, i'm the one who is raw and visceral... while
tim is the one who is specific and linear. combined you
get something new.

the first gig is at home team grill. our friend darrin works there and
he just called to ask if we can go on earlier than planned.

you see... there's this basketball game coming on and... well you
get the picture.

we have a youtube site... http://www.youtube.com/factoryhorse so take that.
