Successful day tracking drums with @kelly.v.linvil

Successful day tracking drums with @kelly.v.linville and @thesounddude. I have been producing a track with @matteorecchio and it is 👌. Can't wait to post it on my website.

I have had a "banjotar" that @eric.holdson sent to live with me sitting in my dining room for sometime now...and last night I realized I hadn't recorded anything with it. Here is a minute clip I made with horns and banjotar so you can have a quick break from all the insanity👌

"The world is going up in flames, and nobody wants

"The world is going up in flames, and nobody wants to take the blame" - these words written by Charles Bradley have echoed in my head this last week... as I struggle to make sense out of the awful things happening in the world I know the pain this causes me will never compare to that of the African American (and every other non-white) communities who face the systematic racism that has infiltrated this country.

I hurt for my best friends, I hurt for my blended family, I hurt for strangers who I will never meet... but most of all it hurts that no matter my outlook of this world I can never understand because I am a white male and have never had to deal with discrimination because of the color of my skin.
In another verse, Charles Bradley writes "They don't hear me cry, They don't hear me try, Don't stomp on that light"... I relate that to the protests that are happening around the country. It makes me sick to my stomach that there are groups that would show up and disrupt these peaceful protests and try to "stomp on that light". These #humans have every single right to take to the streets and shout their anger and if you are a white person you should either STFU and listen, or join in and stand by their side.
What happened to #georgefloyd was straight up #murder and I am glad it was caught on camera and broadcast to the world. I think about the thousands of other injustices that are not caught on camera and it reminds me that racism is the real pandemic.
I will end this with the last verse of the song. "Gotta be a better world, gotta make it baby, gotta make it right". I want to make it right but cannot alone. Please help me. Please teach me.
Much love.

I love picking a song that wouldn't usually be in the set list and playing the vocal line. The idea for me is not about playing it perfectly (note for note), but rather to get more vocal like phrasing of notes to come out in my playing. I also do the same with horn lines/melodies. I would say my practice time is 90% not working on "guitar" lines...there is definitely a right time for working on guitar licks but for me this fits my needs just fine 👌

Drinking music beer brewed in #winstonsalem and listening to beer drinking music made in Winston Salem on the interwebs. Not the same as an evening downtown, but it will do just fine 👌 what is everyone else listening to?

I was writing some funk music this morning and started thinking about all the fun and bad ass music made with this group of people! I know we all have some pretty hilarious stories from these times 🤪 Funny story: right after we took the photo holding the check from last band standing, Marsh was holding the check in the parking lot and was approached by a homeless guy asking to borrow some money...i sat there with Andrew watching Marsh try explain how we were broke musicians as he was holding a massive check 😂😂😂. The truth is we were totally broke, and that money had already been allocated for the studio but damn it was funny to watch. Miss you dudes and am ready to get back on a stage with ya.

Idk about you guys but I have been keeping myself busy during the lockdown....new hair, new toilet to dress up, new(old) bike. My mum said "I just looked back at this and you literally could be the poster boy for not leaving your kid alone with a pair of scissors and a straightener 😂😂😂. #teachyourkids #dontbelikecass

I have been filling some down time by filming the nest on the front porch. Instagram won't let me upload the video because it is in 4K. Here is a shot of Papa bird wondering what the hell has appeared next to his nest 😂

Video will be posted after eggs hatch 👌

This weekend my glass slide fell from my pocket and broke during an epic isolation thumb war with @kayeebee...we were maintaining the recommended 6ft distance between us as we both are definately rule followers and have freakishly long thumbs... Luckily my man @matteorecchio was in the neighborhood and dropped off a replacement slide on the front porch. You are the man Joey! You guys make sure to check out @bstringguitars online. They are still selling instruments via the interwebs and they have an amazing collection. (They built the guitar in this clip). Happy Monday everyone!
