October 17th, Retrophonics Studios - Jim and friends busted their asses to get the studio up and running after storm Ian. Frankie was on drums today, he played a couple great drum tracks on "Get Along Little Pony" and "Harpoon Sadie". We only have one more drum track for "Rocket" and Frankie will be done except for vocals. After Frankie left, Jim and I organized all the tunes we have been tracking. We are working on Poor-Dum which is going to be my 5th solo CD. We're also working on Say Grace our 3rd Carpetbaggers' release. There is also a new group of songs we are calling #6 that has seven new songs in it. Next week I will be laying down tracks on two new songs "The Fool" and "The Magic Pill".
