Double Bonus Post! - New Track and Gig Photos

Purposely and lovingly crafted to resemble a certain song from the 80's, I bring you "Chiller" as this year's Halloween Time creative effort to add to my catalog of instrumental "What...?"  Click on the music player to play track.



Now this may have been influenced slightly by a performance we did in West Bend, Wisconsin on the evening of July 31, 2010 (this year), where during the day in front of our stage they set a Guinness World Record for the largest "Thriller Dance" in the US.  Here's a pic below.

Where Were You When Michael Jackson Died?

Big news on the large-screen downstairs in the band house today.  The anniversary of Michael Jackson's death.

I remember where I was when I learned of his passing because I happen to be working this week at the same exact place as last year when I heard the news - backstage at Disney World - EPCOT.  We get 30, 15, 10, and 5 minutes calls to show time and it was during one of these we heard something like, "Gentlemen, 10 minutes to show, 10 minutes to show....and Michael Jackson has died."

That was a little jarring!

Just finished recently during our run with the "New Kid in Town" show an insightful book of interviews Michael Jackson did some eight years ago with the hopes of eventually publishing in book form.

The Michael Jackson Tapes: A Tragic Icon Reveals His Soul in Intimate Conversation

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach makes a case that a spiritual healing was in order to keep Michael from walking down the path that his over-powering fame was taking him.  I would agree.  I highly admire his talent.  It's heart-breaking he chose the path he did.
