Pain in the NECK

“Now it’s a player’s guitar”
I don’t like hearing that. I play all my guitars, none of them live in their cases just to be taken out, polished and gawked at once a month. At the same time I take care of my instruments. I was crushed when this fall/ crack happened at a gig a couple weeks ago. Fortunately Collings returned my call and sent me to Pat DiBurro, check out the magical restorations he does! So I feel a little better. We’ll see how it comes back, and at the least it’s gotten me thinking about what I’ll fall for next.
It’s kind of weird, it came just a week or so after I fell on a snowboard and whacked my wrist on the ice really hard, so both of us are on the mend. ==:::
Box & FF shoot
February 6th, 2012
The French Family Blues Band isn’t just fun to listen to, we’re great to look at as well! The recording we’re finishing up came with a photo shoot and here’s a preview of what we got. Aaron French, ladies and gentlemen.
We had a great gig at the Skybox in Southwick, MA Saturday night. Here’s a few photos Risha took while we were playing.

Ahead of Myself
January 25th, 2012
I often put the cart before the horse.
My amp is a 50 watt half stack, but I’m playing clubs not theaters.
My plans and strategies for my career fill pages and extend years into the future, but often I just overwhelm myself with it all and my motivations are hindered.
I’m always in the process of finishing/ mixing a record that’s overdue (to you, nobody @ french maid music is breathing down my neck), and my mind’s already on the next one.
The horse is looking to make a move to pass the cart this year, but in the spirit of consistency… I’m thinking of making an acoustic album after Old City Blues. It’ll have Stay, some other lovin people type songs, little bit of blues, and some instrumental interludes like this ==:::
