Trying a new thinger on the site – Audioscrobbler… if you scroll down, on the right side of the page is a list of the last few songs I’ve listened to. It *should* update automatically, and eventually be able to track my listening habits. We’ll see if it works or not.

Edit: Considering how things ultimately went with this individual, I’m really glad I didn’t get the gig…
Ah come on, Adrian, it’s true. I was nobody. But that don’t matter either, you know? ‘Cause I was thinkin’, it really don’t matter if I lose this fight. It really don’t matter if this guy opens my head, either. ‘Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody’s ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I’m still standin’, I’m gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren’t just another bum from the neighborhood.
OK, so it’s a little melodramatic, but I’m always looking for an excuse to quote “Rocky” 🙂 I have the opportunity to audition for Tait tomorrow. I don’t think I have a realistic shot of getting the gig, knowing how many far more talented guitarists than I live in Nashville, but I’d just like to do well and make a good showing. At the very least I can say I gave it my best shot 🙂 Right now I just want to get it over with, because my fingertips look like ground beef!
Regardless if I get the job or not, next week will be a big one… I close on my house Monday, and Friday will mark a year since my last chemo treatment. I *swear* I’ll write the second part of the cancer story soon. It’s been a very busy summer.

For those who have been coming here for a long time, you know that at one point I maintained a Steven Curtis Chapman fansite for nearly five years. Eventually I put it to rest, but not before I started working on a redesign that I briefly made public.So yesterday I was poking around, and found this site that looks a *lot* like that redesign I was working on. Certain similarities are uncanny – particularly the way he does links with [ brackets ], the color scheme, the green menu on the left, etc. And the fact that his website showed up only a couple of months after I closed up shop for good.
It might be entirely coincidental, but I thought it was pretty cool nonetheless 🙂

I was poking around some musician websites, and found Reb Beach’s site, who is one of my favorite guitarists. In one part of his site, he tells a story about some touring hijinx:
What was it like touring with Poison and Cinderella on the ‘Power to the People’ Tour?
Don got in a Jet Ski accident and tore ligaments so he sat with a crutch on stage. [One day], he was high on painkillers during the show and hit Jeff in the eye while attempting to twirl his mike stand. Jeff passed out for a few seconds on the floor of the stage in front of me. I thought he was just really getting into it on the ground
I was there! It was at the Amsouth theater in Nashville, summer of 2001. I was in the fifth or sixth row, directly in front of the bass player who got clocked with the microphone stand. Luckily it was the next-to-last song, so it didn’t really affect the show, but it was pretty funny at the time.
