it’s been quite the journey.

 i haven’t blogged in a couple of months cause thats how long my life was basicly on pause while i went through a few surgeries. so instead of the album coming out on Black Friday it’s coming out on a Friday near the end of Jan. 2012, mere days away. the Potsie record- 9 finely crafted songs and one suprise improv jam after the record. mixed and recorded by Rich Ott at John Blanche Studio right outside Orlando, near the old Jam Magazines headquarters (if you know that ref. you’re a peer of mine) brilliant production, i just could not be more pleased.

  and then there’s the beautiful artwork, the photos that we took with Miriam Lorenzi were inspired and they look and make us look stunning.                the front cover art is a painting by Neil Farber and Michael Dumontier who were both, along with Marcel Dzama , founding members of the Royal Art Lodge . i’ve been a huge fan of all those guys since i found out about them in 2005. when i started collecting art theirs was one of the first peices i really bought and i cherish each and every one of them and value them as the cream of the crop of my collection.  gee can you tell i’m excited.

 so anyways, in a week or so theres gonna be a few differant ways for everyone to purchase our real first c.d….and of course available in a few digital formats as well. gotta put my lot in Park Ave and Rock and Roll Heavan and East West i hope too. i guess thats all i know that are still around. and maybe a bar near you for few drinks and c.d.s at happy hour. i’ll tell when and where if it happens. till next week, SRG

 ps- i’ve been listening to the rockin live set from last years Antimisaris, Potsie set recorded 2-19-11, real good sound and killer playing. here’s a link to it- Potsie 2011 Antimesaris set.
