Rattlebrained

In December I made a designed for Messin’ Round’s demo with the help of a woodcut (picture on the right) that my mom did from a sketch she made of us, so we were finally able to send a few out.

So the Organic Blues Unit spent most of the weekend in J.-Daniel’s (thanks) recording studio for our first demo. I’ve been practicing like mad all month for this and was pretty hyper while I packed the car with my gear and a morning of setting up microphones, getting them to the “best” placements did nothing to help relax. I was stuck into the “aquarium” (picture), one end of the room that had been sealed off with a window and door, so that my washboard and cymbals didn’t bleed into what Dave and Bill where playing.

Another moment with David, Bill and yours truly on a Saturday evening last August.

Well here it is, the first Messin’ Round video! I was a bit burnt out last night and IMHO my washboard playing lacked many things, but you have to start somewhere…In any case it was a lot of fun!

Tonight Dave and I play again at the Auberge du Pont du Diable, just the two of us since unfortunately neither Bill or Denis are available. Should be brilliant. Come and join us if you’re anywhere near; good French cuisine too!

While I was checking to see if my old laptop was up and ready to travel, I stumbled on this picture that someone sent me from the concert we did at the Petit Paris last December.

Dave is on the left, Bill on the right and yours truly struggling away on rhythm guitar. From the looks of it, we are in the middle of Hesitation Blues.

If you happen to be in the Swiss watch making city of La Chaux-de-Fond next week, beware because Messin’ Round will be playing at the P’tit Paris for the special Oyster Night event!
