JA's JOURNALS
 

pssst....hey, over here...

..........yep, it's me. Over here, behind the furnace. I know, you haven't heard from me in a while...........since May! Dude, it's hard out here for..............for............well, for me, I guess. Been grinding, working on you-know-who, producing songs, making stuff, throwing punches to try to overcome THE MAN, who is holding this Keri Noble Locomotive DOWN, bro. Yeh, showcases, recordings, demos, pitches, feeling kinda lost and drained.........and then last week, we go in to the Brewhouse to record three new songs, different approach, different players, and WHOA! Energy floods back into me, and this is deeper, more rooted than ever. Everyone (especially Ken Abdo, keri's lawyer, and Griff Morris, her manager) knows that I am a rabid dog about how complete Keri has become, how comfortable and free, how connective. The people at the 8/11 zoo show saw it, unveiled to it's fullest, and somehow, when we went in on this round, something is different again, wow. Can't wait to get back at it this next week, and I gots to say, I haven't been feeling like that for awhile.

We went to France and played again in Rosnay, at the hotel St Louis, which J.P. Brandt's family has owned for 700 years. So great, we will post some photos............made it through the whole "no liquids" business, but I did feel bad dumping my Brut cologne--and it was a new bottle (I had just gone to Wallgreen's before we left!). Hey, you gotta go? I understand--talk to you later this week, right? Keep your nose open for a sniff of Brut, you'll know it's me.............
