So, I’m at Starbucks in OKC and we are waiting to get our coffee; actually in my case a peppermint hot chocolate. Two ladies come up to me said, “has anyone ever told you that you look like Gary Allan?” I said, “yes, actually.” Eric Castillo, my guitar player was there and was laughing because in New Mexico, he and a few others got together and put a picture of him on my office desktop. I do have to admit that he looks a lot like me or rather I look a lot like him. In either case, she ended up pulling her phone out and showing me pictures of Mr. Allan. I like his music and I think this might be an advantage for me in the long run. I could probably be his stand in if I ever needed a job. I could play everything he does on the guitar and lip-sync his songs like Brittany or Ashley at their concerts. No big deal. Well, I wanted to give an update about the recording and the process we are experiencing. I’m writing this blog while Eric lays down some rhythm tracks. He is trying to get his guitar and amp to stop buzzing. He’s getting a 60 cycle hum from the lights or something. It’s annoying but fixable. Hector, our drummer is sitting next to me, critiquing everything Eric is playing, of course. His critique shouldn’t really bother Eric cause he’s just tired. He didn’t get a lot of sleep last night cause he drove an hour and thirty minutes to OKC from Enid the night before to see the midnight showing, of all movies, New Moon. Needless to say, when the movie was over he didn’t get home until 4:30 am and we left this morning at 7:30 am. What the crap!! “Why,” you ask? I don’t know. Chalk it up to quirkiness, I guess. I think he’s caught up in the continuing saga of Bella, Edward and now Jacob. Enough of that. The song we are working on at this very moment is Change Me. I’m really liking the way it’s coming together. The groove is really tight. I can’t wait for our fans and everyone else to hear the finished product. I think it’s gonna be really good.
