Howdy!!!!!!!!!
Been workin my tail off on the studio!!! Like most any open space I have it had become a "catch-all" for all my junk...................
I went to C&C Guitars and traded for a Vox AC15 this week. Sweet little amp, I hear they can be a little temperamental......
I was mounting a mic stand in the new vocal booth (which is really a closet) and I got to thinking about radio interviews....................
I never really like doing them...I have a very dry sense of humor and the DJ is expecting a serious interview.....
I was in an "neighboring" state for an acoustic show and the promoter arranged an on air interview with one of the local radio stations....
I have to be there at 4pm for "The Drive Home" show. When I get there, the only person at the station is the DJ so I have to wait until he breaks to open the door.
Like many DJs that I have met before, they sound cool on the radio and dress up for their live appearances.
When they are at the station, they wear whatever they can find..................
He was wearing a pink Hobie tank top(this was 2005 BTW),green sweat pants(with the elastic legs) and a pair of flip-flops with socks.
We go over what we are gonna talk about and we get a soundcheck on my guitar.
So we start the interview, I literally say "Hi" and he talks for what seems to be 10 minutes.
Finally, he says" So you are from Texas, Why are there so many good bands based out of Texas?"
Good question right???? Well, always the entertainer my response was"Oh yeah, Like who?"
The air went dead for about 10 seconds............
He was like"ummmmmmmmmm"............................................... So is this your first trip to........................
And it was my last too..................................
Oh, and I am sad to say that "Chinese Democracy" by GNR will be released before "Filth"....... I never thought this would happen but Axle has finally outclassed me.....
Maybe I should give my CD away with every Dr Pepper sold?
I have a "Super Secret acouStic Show" this week. It is so secret that I will have to use my TomTom to find it.......................................
So go to every bar this week and you might see me there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good night folks!
Later,
Farris
