The Day After Practice - 04-25-2008
posted on April 25th, 2008 by pump in The Day After
Last night we had a really good practice, even though it started out with Dave messing around with the lift on his boathouse. There seemed to be a power problem. I told him I would love to help him out but I don’t like to dance to the beat of alternating current and Rodney and I argued about who was going to dive into the water to rescue Dave when he was knocked into the lake by the electricity. Since I had a beer in my hand, it seemed perfectly logical to me that the job should fall to Rodney. Fortunately, Dave survived unscathed and determined that the problem was elsewhere.
As a bonus, Dave’s cousin, Clem showed up for practice.

We had a really good practice last night. The pirated recording of Big Hand Dave playing Green Onions and Secret Agent Man were debuted to great reviews.
Damn Pirates!!
We decided that we have enough material to make a band page on MySpace with actual recordings. I think Rodney should be in charge of that. He had his cool little recording device last night and I think we got some good stuff.

Autism Awareness Month Begins
posted on April 4th, 2008 by pump in Stuff
April is Autism Awareness Month! Across the United States and beyond, the autism community is celebrating its members, holding special events to raise awareness, and raising money for research. This month, I’ll be highlighting as many national and local events as I can — so please feel free to send me information about autism events in your area!
Autism Speaks was founded just a few years ago by Bob Wright, CEO of NBC and grandfather to an autistic child. Last year, it merged with the National Alliance for Autism Research (NAAR). With strong ties to Hollywood and the media, Autism Speaks is VERY busy this month.
Some of the highlights of the Autism Speaks agenda this month projects include a new Public Service Announcement to be launched nationally; special fundraising programs with Build-a-Bear and TJ Maxx, and, most importantly, NAAR’s annual walkathons across the country to raise money for autism research.

Last night’s practice was a lot of fun, despite the fact that we played a lot of material for the first time. It was a night of fab firsts as many of the songs we played were new to everybody. Thank goodness for PJ’s charts. As an added bonus, Corn-Squeezer Dave returned my hymnal and it was actually no worse for the wear, though he did forget it initially and fetched it whilst changing into his Magnum PI outfit.

We had a pretty good practice last night, despite the fact that Dave neglected to deliver my corn juice soaked hymnal back to its proper owner and Rodney had to shift his Mustang into Jeep to avoid getting trapped in Dave’s driveway. Dave has had some trees removed at the lake and the heavy equipment and heavy rain made a quagmire of his driveway. We forget what a really impressive piece of property our little practice retreat is sometimes, but now it’s open, expansive view of the beautiful lake is really something to see. Dave’s got himself a really nice piece of land there.
It really doesn’t get much better.

We had a great practice last night. We got through an amazing amount of material and had a lot of fun doing it. There was, however, the matter of mysterious corn juice on the counter. I’m not sure I would ask if I were you. And just so you know, in case it ever comes up - Dave has a can opener that could be used as a weapon. I also have to say that nighttime at the lake in the Spring is fabulous. I love the sound of those frogs down by the water.

Last night we had a really good practice. Sadly, the secret word will not be disclosed. Those are some sickos, those bandmates of mine. But we were introduced to a possible new song that I came up with using some software and sampling and that’s what we warmed up to. Dave was obviously threatened because the computerized drummer can count. However, its hands are smaller and not nearly so clever with a turn of phrase. Rodney, however, was inspired!

Last night’s practice was on an off night because of St. Valentine’s Day. You can’t practice on Thursday if Thursday is Valentine’s Day. Well, I guess we could, but then we’d be practicing other things later.
I blame Hallmark. The card company. You can’t go to the store - any store - without being assaulted by Red and Pink everywhere you turn. It’s just not natural.

I think I can speak for the band when I say how honored we are to have Jeff from Samuel Audio come out to our practices and be patient with us and our smart-ass comments and still be able to get a really good recording. I don’t think we can ever thank you enough for taking your time to record us and then all the time you spend mixing stuff down to make us sound good.
And Wes, thanks to you as well for spending the extra time and attention to the details on how we were set up and being part of the mixing outside of any normal band stuff we have going on. I know there is more to all of that than I understand.
All that crap aside take a listen to our first 3 of 6 songs that will be on the first official BHD Demo.

We had a very good practice last night. Jeff, the official Big Hand Dave recording engineer, set up all of his nice beautiful recording equipment (and the man has some kick ass equipment) and made us all feel like rock stars. Our goal was to get five or six songs recorded well enough to make a demo. I think we’ve got what we need. We had a different vocal set up, which took a little getting used to, but it worked out well.
Then the sketching began. You simply had to be there. And it ain’t right.

I think I can speak for the band when I say how honored we are to have Jeff from Samuel Audio come out to our practices and be patient with us and our smart-ass comments and still be able to get a really good recording. I don’t think we can ever thank you enough for taking your time to record us and then all the time you spend mixing stuff down to make us sound good.
And Wes, thanks to you as well for spending the extra time and attention to the details on how we were set up and being part of the mixing outside of any normal band stuff we have going on. I know there is more to all of that than I understand.
All that crap aside take a listen to our first 3 of 6 songs that will be on the first official BHD Demo.

The Day After Practice - 01-25-2008
posted on January 25th, 2008 by pump in The Day After
We had a very good practice last night. Jeff, the official Big Hand Dave recording engineer, set up all of his nice beautiful recording equipment (and the man has some kick ass equipment) and made us all feel like rock stars. Our goal was to get five or six songs recorded well enough to make a demo. I think we’ve got what we need. We had a different vocal set up, which took a little getting used to, but it worked out well.
Then the sketching began. You simply had to be there. And it ain’t right.

We had a great practice last night. We got through an amazing amount of material and had a lot of fun doing it. There was, however, the matter of mysterious corn juice on the counter. I’m not sure I would ask if I were you. And just so you know, in case it ever comes up - Dave has a can opener that could be used as a weapon. I also have to say that nighttime at the lake in the Spring is fabulous. I love the sound of those frogs down by the water.

The Day After Practice - 02-22-2008

Last night we had a really good practice. Sadly, the secret word will not be disclosed. Those are some sickos, those bandmates of mine. But we were introduced to a possible new song that I came up with using some software and sampling and that’s what we warmed up to. Dave was obviously threatened because the computerized drummer can count. However, its hands are smaller and not nearly so clever with a turn of phrase. Rodney, however, was inspired!

Last night’s practice was on an off night because of St. Valentine’s Day. You can’t practice on Thursday if Thursday is Valentine’s Day. Well, I guess we could, but then we’d be practicing other things later.
I blame Hallmark. The card company. You can’t go to the store - any store - without being assaulted by Red and Pink everywhere you turn. It’s just not natural.
