Today is our last day in Austin, TX. We've been here for 31 days and it couldn't have gone better. We're driving back home to L.A. at 7 tonight and i'm really excited for a mental break. For the past month I put every drop of energy I had into making these songs smoke. Some songs went through 3 sets of lyrics just so they could be good enough for you. Some songs we're transposed 3 times so they sat in the perfect pocket for my voice. As I sit in the control room listening to the board mixes of the 10 songs, I find myself getting the chills during every song. NO i'm not being egotistical, I'm just sharing a real and honest feeling with you. These past few days i've been running around like a geddy little kid. I'm high on life and have never felt so good. I can't wait till you all can hear why i'm so excited. For any guitar nerds out there, like myself, I took some pictures of the amps and guitars we used to get all the cool sounds on this record.

GUITARS From left to right: Gibson CRS 335 (only 300 made), Gibson Firebird, Fender Baritone Special, Fender Double Fat Strat, Gibson Les Paul Custom, Fender Telecaster (with a semour duncan humbucker in the bridge), and THE ALL AMERICAN 70's SG with a P-90 in it


AMPS: Vintage Vox AC30, '76 Marshall 100 watt super lead, Bogner Shiva, and a Bogner Ecstasy

HERE IS THE ORIGINAL BLONDE FENDER BASSMAN

CABS: Vox AC30 cab, Division 13 cab, Vintage Marshall 4x12, and the combo amp is an old Fender Princeton Reverb that screams when you dime it. (dime it=turn it to 10)

Adam and myself tightening up before laying down some tracks


Peace and Love,
