Back When I Was a Rock and Roller


No change as far as Matutinal Reverie goes. Things are still on hold with Broadway Video and the Standby Program until about February or March. In the meantime, I'm going to get the movie back from from Broadway and make those edits that I posted about last time. And I've been in touch with Bill Seery about the best way to handle the audio for those changes. I'm sure that everything will be fine, and that the movie will be much improved for the editing. I'm eager to get cracking on it again.

I had a really nice dinner with Brett so that she could tell me what she thought of my new script. It was a fun time, and as always it was good to see her. And her feedback was invaluable. Tomorrow, I'm meeting with Ella so that she and I can talk about the screenplay. As we both live in the East Village, we figured that we'd meet for brunch somewhere in the neighborhood.

And I also sent the script to the person who may be managing me. We're still talking about it, and in fact having a follow-up lunch on Monday. Which I'm looking forward to. And I think that the script is really original, and very unique. And will, of course, make a great movie. I'll be curious to see what he thinks when I see him next.

Lastly, as a special treat, here at two songs that my old high school band Insogo Six recorded in a professional studio back in 1989. We actually made five for a little demo, but I think that these two are enough to give you the idea. I suppose I can always post the others later. I made these files by importing the songs from an old cassette tape, as the original masters are long since lost. Hence, there are some pops and scratches and other unfriendly sounds. But overall, they're in pretty good shape for having spent the better part of the past 18 years in various drawers and a basement. Actually, the one called Reality is my favorite of the bunch. Mainly because of the extended guitar solo at the end, and the fact that there are five overdubbed guitar tracks on it. I played four (including the solo), and Scott Boyd played acoustic guitar as I performed my solo. Happy listening.

Hi Mark! Wow! I remember when we used to practice in your basement!
The songs sounded almost better now, than they did back then, in Scotts Orange Rabbit!

Keep in touch!
