Today and about the album

RANDOM GARBAGE

Today I went to class and we talked about music (the class is the history of jazz so this was no surprise). I've learned that most of the great innovators in the 40s and 50s in the jazz world were also tremendous crack addicts. It was sort of exciting. I can't focus sometimes, nothing that was discussed today was gonna be on the final so I didn't have to focus. I came back to the apartment I'm living in for the next two weeks (cause the lease on my other place ended and I'm going back to the Charlotte area for a few months) and saw that there was no real food, only biscuits in a can that you have to cook. So I cooked them. I put some cheese on them and they were ok but I've had better. biscuits and cheese. That's it.

ABOUT THE CD.

We're working on design for the album cover now...shuffling through photo shoot ideas, and other specifics. I decided to put myself actually on this album cause I think its time to do that. my only fear is my pale skin. Sometimes I look like I have pigment in me and sometimes in the wrong lighting (namely the sunlight) I look really really white. Which is fine. It's the whole blonde hair, blue eyes thing I suppose. The cd is gonna have 12 songs and we're gonna start choosing once Blake gets back in town from working Student Life camp to finish recording the bass parts. once more concrete details are made I'll put them up.

Hope all is well & God Bless,

Joe McCready
