A blogger, who I later find out is a principal player in Rope a Dope Records, which is just too cool for words, had this to say about where Eric was last night and what he was up to...
Here's a You Tube of the Adrian Belew Power Trio doing Futurevision which just popped up this morning:
And Eric and Ade are flying out to California to NAMM this week - I think arriving Thursday night and staying through Sunday; Eric then hops a flight from Anaheim to San Francisco or LA I think and does some studio work for a band recording a new CD; hangs out there for a few more days and flies home to do possibly does something else MAJOR though also top secret; then goes on a ten day tour with Project Object, and here's the schedule so far:
PROJECT/OBJECT - the music of Frank Zappa
featuring IKE WILLIS, ED MANN & DON PRESTON
JANUARY 2009
THU 29 Teaneck NJ Mexicali $18/$20
FRI 30 Baltimore MD 8X10 $18/$20
SAT 31 Sellersville PA Sellersville Theatre $22.50

So that's cool - and look for some surprising twists re a member of the band and some unadvertised special guests.
In Julie Slick news, Saturday night is the CD release party for Cheers Elephant at the North Star Bar. Julie produced the CD, and if you don't already know this, her significant other is the bass player. You can hear one of my favorites - "Here We Are" on my below Music Player. We'll all be there to support Matt and the band - except for Eric, who will still be out in California so please come over and say Hi!
Wait. I need to take a break for a minute. Are the Eagles actually going to beat the Giants right now and be in the NFC Championship game next week against Arizona? Are you freaking kidding me? Pigs are flying all over the place right now...
In writing news, Daddy Left Me Alone with God is now officially line edited; today I gave my editor my official "dedication"...that was a lot harder than I thought but then I just simplified it by speaking from the heart and then cutting down ten pages to one sentence...ha...and by the way, I'll be hawking that at the RT Convention this April in sunny Orlando, Florida from August 22-26.
Okay, I am in total shock. The Eagles just did win. Holy cow. Must go celebrate.
Later,

I'm actually shocked you found that blog post so quickly...I wrote it at 3am! Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you dig Ropeadope.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog by the way.
Thanks again and keep reading!
Happy for all of you.
ReplyDeleteHey, David, yeah, I'm a Google stalker ha ha...and thank you for the kind comment about the blog...I'll certainly keep reading yours (have you heard/seen Cheers Elephant live hint hint) and hopefully you will pop over here from time to time as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue. I am as happy as one can be in this lovely economic environment but will certainly be much happier next Wednesday when Frat Boy and Dr. Evil are no longer in the White House!
Hello Robin! We have never met but I have met the rest of your family. I work in Phoenix producing shows and have had the pleasure of working with the trio twice and even went to the promoters house where Gary held the Beatles Guitar. My name is Beef. I belive you even posted a photo of me and the Family a while back. Anyhow, I too am shocked at the prospect of the NFC championship being in Phoenix. It's Wednesday and I'm still waiting for the Cardinals to blow it somehow. Now I see you are supporting your Eagles...just when I was getting to like you! :-)
