IT WAS THE NEW YEAR TWO MONTHS AGO

Ey up,

Some points of newz: first off USA tour was real cool, got a stomach bug in Chicago and puked all over the land. Did some recording with Desert Heat (Nugent, Steve Gunn & John Truscinski) which has shaped up to be a pretty sweet LP, hopefully will arrive before too long. Also while I was in NY I did a session for WFMU that turned out pretty good, which you can download from the Free Music Archive. Click on the picture of yours truly at WFMU for the link


I have a new 7" coming out on VHF records in April. Two songs I've been sitting on for a while, solo guitar recorded at home on tape. Watch this space.

Working on Nugent Band jams at the moment, sounding great.
