Rustle Of Luv

I'm doing my best to get some new content up here. I have a few songs, if I can get good live versions of them, I'll put 'em up here. That should happen soon enough. Meanwhile, here's one of my greatest studio failures. It has some really great mandolin and other things and some truly awful lyrics. I did it with Paul Setser and we programed a bunch of stuff. There's a clip of me saying "whadda ya" like I was Popeye or something, that repeats. I'll get the lyrics up in a week or so.

I Mean, You Know... It's Spring Already

Hey, Number 1 Musicians! I been doing my thing. I gotta get things ready, if I'mona take it on-stage. I'm doing that. The plan is to record some live performances and put up the vids. Cuts a few new tunes out of that for N1M. Put the vids up here and at YouTube.

That is in process. Meanwhile, we're scratching around the bottom of my barrel with some interesting tacks from the 90s, in my book. A live, studio combo track I'll talk about another time. I've attached the studio version (without the foul language) to this newsletter. Please listen. My stuff is not for everybody. I hope it's interesting enough for a listen. There's also a silly track called Cuzyme (the rustle). It's short and silly and fun. It references Ron Turner at the end, because it's pretty much his fault any of this material got made.

There's a great new Voot Track up that should become everyone's new favorite. It is mine. It's called: "Too Bad". Be back soon to promote that live gig recording. Bye cool cats and kitties!

Being An Update On The Fortunes Of Luv

Do I have to include everything on every post? Pictures, etc? I can't tell, so I do.

This is one of those, "I'm so busy" jeremiads. I wanted everyone to know I listen to a lot of tracks here. What a bunch of great artists. I follow back. I doubt I've kept up. I look for the Networker insignia. I just pop in and share whoever is at the top of the notification list. I really appreciate being part of a community of music makers. As COVID winds down, I will have less time to interact at link.

I will be setting up gigs and recording them, then posting those vids here. That will leave me less time to maintain this page, but I will be back very frequently. Just less-ish probably. For a minute. FYI Peace!

I'm Having Audio Issues

I'm trying to get a listenable version of this song uploaded. It was originally titled Islam Online. I changed that title, b/c I don't want to offend anyone. It only refers to the song's narrative perspective considering blissful online spirituality to escape a broken heart. The version with good vocals is taken from a cassette and it's not great quality. The nice studio version, I recorded some crappy back-ups over.

But the audio quality is much better on the crappy vocals version, so I'm putting it up, as well. I'm attaching it to this update. Maybe, I'll get an optimal version together yet. This song was recorded by Jeff somebody at his studio with Al Weatherhead dialing the knobs and playing the drums. Tim Buckley backs up the vocals and plays guitar. John somebody plays an out of tune bass on this song and Mary Woronov. I prefer Al's mix and I keep trying to get a good version of his mix up.

I think the better audio version was mixed by Bill Stace. I'll keep searching for a good version of Al's, b/c I think people will like it.

How Much Content Do You People Think I Have?

I only have a few more of this rustle of luv catalog to post. This live track is, as we say in technical parlance: "iffy". Not Great. A live rehearsal recording? There's no other way to hear this song and it's passable. Think of it as a record of an era. that era being sometime in the late 90s at rehearsal with Michele Strader playing Bass. I don't know if anyone else is there.

I wrote some text in the formulating of the newsletter and I don't know where it is now, so I'm not sure how much of all that I should retype, here. We have a little more content left, of questionable quality, with great contributions by talented musicians doing their best with my naive material. I think what's most interesting about my genre-less music, is its uniqueness. This is the only place you will find rustle music.

After this and a few more, I'll have to make some new ones. I've been toying with the idea of Revolting Lab Monkeys. If you read these, I thank you. I write to be read. Peace to the Out!
