I made the very scary move from bassist to bassist/singer this month. I also did my 1st solo gig (acoustic guitar and vocals). These gigs proved two things (1) I have become a good enough player that I can just think about vocals while performing and (2) That I need to train my voice in order to get though more than a dozen songs.Found a spray called vocal-eze that I will use next time.

Chris Whitley 1960-2005   One of the most phenomenal singers songwriters and slide guitar players I have ever seen. Chris was the one artist that drew Luke and Jason and I together in the first place to play original music.

We had an amazing night on Sunday at Blind Willies!   The bands were great, the crowd was huge, there were tons of new faces. Barry Richman Band's Red House and Voodoo Chile started us off so strong that I was concerned that we could only lose the momentum.   I had no reason to worry. RJD was actually to most rockin' of the night with their "Hendrixed out" Johnny B Goode (could have been the

Time has come for a new Luxury Kings CD (this winter?), and the suggestion was made by Luke for a name change to go with our shift away from blues and towards an original rock sound. I'm not really for a name change, but I am willing to hear arguments. That said, I think that most band names suck, and that ours is actually clever (a Luxury King is a BED, but it sounds like a cool dude...as in "

The Grateful Dead came out of the 1960s San Francisco counterculture scene. The band is best known for its devoted "Dead Head" fans and the Woodstock-style atmosphere of its sold-out concerts.

Our pal Jack Parrillo was in a car wreck and has some serious bills, so the Limerick/Willie's bands are putting together a show to raise some cash.   It's our own Musik Mafia (http://www.wkrn.com/Global/story.asp?S=2903513) right here in the ATL. Seriously, these are my favorite bands in Atlanta, all on the same stage!   Sunday July 17th @ Blind Willies - $5 cover! 5:30-6:00  Alick Gerard6:00-6

After a fun filled weekend and my first day at my new job (AJC) I was kinda beat when I got to Willies at 8:30. 1st set was kinda rough, but after finally getting the PA to sound OK and the lights not to bake our brains, it all worked out.   Good turnout, not HUGE, but good. Played almost all of the new songs. Will get a pic from Steve French to put up (from his kick ass new camera).

I spent a significant part of Wednesday on e-bay trying to buy this acoustic bass guitar (Epiphone El Capitan) and was the high bidder all day long, BUT did not reach the "reserve" price. I upped my bid twice and still did not get to the reserve. Two minutes before the end of auction someone bids $200 and gets the reserve. I bid $201 and then TRY to bid $202.50 as I hit enter, the auction ends

SMYRNA, Ga. (AP) - Three suspected thieves were arrested after they returned to shop at the store they had stolen from earlier in the day, police said. Early Friday morning, thieves broke into Adventure Outdoors a sporting goods and gun store, and stole several guns including an AR-15 rifle and a shotgun. But store employees called police again around 6 p.m.

In attempting to put the entire Stonesouls catalogue on-line, space is my largest obstacle - mp3 files take up a ton of bandwidth. After looking at every format, every "trick", every free and pay site that hosts, I've come to this conclusion: Keep it Simple!   The Stonesouls music was recorded on 8 track tape (not like your dad's 8-track player) and while it has some stereo separation,

I recently found a CD of a band I was in in 1996, The Adam Leland Band (yes my brother Adam came up with the creative name). This is a live show from Lou's Blues on Ponce. Had to be during the Olympics. The sound is release quality and the performance is VERY solid. Adam has said that this was the most professional band he ever played with, and I may have to agree. His songs from this era are

My Fender Lace pickus from E-bay are a mixed bag. One was fine, the other was a damaged product.

I have it and it is no fun. RLS is like having creepy crawlies in your legs all the time, especially at night or when you are NOT moving around. The drugs that help you sleep though it don't cure you, they just knock you out. Then I'm drugged all day (though fairly well rested)I also think it makes me quick tempered.

George Lucas OWES me an Empire Strikes Back level movie. The last two were crap. Like all things from my youth, I expect way too much. Or just to get the same old feeling.

There is no big blues scene, even though this is the top blues club in the south. We rely on luck, a decent mailing list, local friends and hopefully a group from a local hotel in town for a convention. Sometimes we get all 4. This night we got our friends and a few

I'm starting to get "have you seen my blog" from friends and co-workers. I'm starting to think that I need to either be incredibly entertaining to others or have some purpose, even if it's just personal.
