The Gulf Coast Dispatch
Progress And Regress In Any Order

As Tuesday night trickles away, I know that this week’s Concern and Bones aren’t as tight as they ought be. There’s always too much left unsaid, even as the pieces run too long. But just after midnight I’ll hit the “send” key, and for some reason, feel good about the whole endeavor…

An old friend stopped by on Saturday. The two of us sat out by the hoochie-red patio table and sang songs that we had written and sung together a decade ago. He’s still pickin’ the guitar good. His voice is as strong as it was back when. His best songs are as good as I remember, even better.

Me, I had a little trouble hitting the high harmonies…emph.

Late Saturday night, once my guest had packed his guitar and gone, I added a brown paper bag, plus running water with voice to the Make-Do Sounds.

I think it’s done. Maybe mix it this weekend.

Well, that’s it. Soundtrack To Wednesday [07.15.09] is burning. It’ll be up there soon. Oddly enough, this week’s pickings, decades and detractors apart, sound from the same stalk.

Enjoy a beer and a listen.
