Rest Fest…
Hey surprise!!! This weekend is Restoration Festival in Albany and Mount Mole is actually going to play a live show. I told myself that I wouldn’t ever present this project live, but that changed when I was asked nicely. There are a couple of factors that led me to say yes. The first is that no one will actually see me, so I don’t have to worry about presentation. Frankly…I generally find it boring watching the one-man-band thing and didn’t want to subject anyone to that. I’m going to be perched way up in an organ loft hidden behind a giant organ. I’m also afraid of heights, so I ain’t going anywhere near the edge.
I also convinced Mike Hotter from Swamp Baby to play guitar on a song. Oh…and I finished writing that song yesterday. This is going to be white knuckle “hope it works” music. It’s more fun living dangerously. Three all new songs written in the past week. I had to make it as hard as possible for myself. On the other hand, I didn’t have to think hard about how to interpret the stuff I’ve put on record. Starting with a blank slate let me tailor the performance.
Anyhow…I’m psyched.
