Since August
Dear Sharon -
My how time flies, doesn't it? I didn't realize I hadn't written since I was in North Carolina. Had a great time while there, though I spent too much money. Sometimes you have to do that, though.
The Pylon / Gravel Truck show was great fun. I'd never seen Pylon before, but now that I have I'm cooler than almost everyone. They were great. Turns out I knew everyone in Gravel Truck (Mitch Easter's Let's Active cover band) so it was nice to be able to say hello to various acquaintences. Had some pals in the audience, too. It's cool when you travel around enough that you can know people in many places you go, even if you've never been there before, as was the case in Winston-Salem, where the show was.
Spent several hours with mastering engineer & good friend Jeff Carroll. He listened to some tracks and thought they were recorded pretty well. I'll probably be using his services soon.
Had a show in Alexandria a couple of weeks back. I got to play though my new PA system again. It was a fairly loose show, but I think I played pretty well. Still have a lot of practicing to do to get to the 1999-2001 level.
Next week I'm heading out to California to see the family & friends. I'm also going to be interviewing Matt Boudreau for Tape Op magazine, and will be at the AES show at the Tape Op booth on Saturday and Sunday. That'll be fun & I'll see more music friends.
Sharon, I guess the big news is that for the foreseeable future I'm going to be recording and performing under the name "The Saturday Sound." The reasoning is, to put it succinctly, I never could imagine putting "Rob Christensen" on t-shirts. It always made me uneasy even thinking about it. But "The Saturday Sound" on a t-shirt, button, or bumper sticker... That's another story. That means a new "Saturday Sound" blog is on the way.
Well, better go now.
See you soon!
Rob
