I have been auditioning for a local band and tonight I was officially asked to join. These guys write some good tunes and I am very excited to be a part of the group. Check us out...let me know what you think.

Of course, I am NOT on the recordings you will hear on the website...

I commented about this band in your personal Intro thread, but I will repeat the same thing here. They are a damn good and talented group of guys. I'm excited for you to be involved in this band. Keep us posted on how things go.

Thanks Chris! If anyone is so inclined...we could use some support on sales of our CD. You can download it from Amazon. If you like, I can do a direct sale of the hardcopy disc to memebers of Booktalk for $5.00. I will spring for the shipping. Just IM me if you prefer that route.

HRC on Amazon

Thanks!

Congratulations, Mr. P! Best of luck with your new endeavour. I'll give the band a listen when I have some spare time.

I am working like crazy and not sleeping... I am currently going on 48 hours without sleep because there is a construction team using a jackhammer outside my apartment.

So I cannot sleep during the day and I work at night... falling asleep in front of 58 inmates is a very bad idea.

By the time I finally get to bed it will have been 72+ hours assuming that the construction crew finishes on schedule.

But other than that things are peachy, thanks for asking! Very Happy

Can't they provide a quiet place at the prison for you to sleep?

Mr. P-

What role will you fill in the band? Singer, bass, etc?

I am in Jersey, so I will have to keep an eye out for future dates to hear the band...
