DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME;

CANT EXPLAIN

well, while the LAKERS were whupping up on the San Antonio Spurs AGAIN, we were
down in the studio working on several new songs before we finally record them.
it was cool when the Singer strolled in (While we were already jamming) and we
broke into Cant Explain and, gee, it was 1965 all over again...Don Conka was
wailing away at tamborine and even the New Guy, Video Camera in tow, was
documenting it all.

The recording mics werent set up and we didnt want to lose any ideas so we had
TNG film us as we worked out the arrangements. and it felt great to be back in
teh studio and working on songs. dont get me wrong; the road is fun and
wonderful and traveling is in my blood, but the fun of working on something new
is just tops. one song really needed that something. so we tried out a new
bridge and then decided to use that bridge twice and it worked really well.
now, not every song needs a bridge but to me, a bridge is like the musical
equivilent of Viagra; if you havea tune that seems to be sagging a bit, that
maybe needs that something extra, a bridge can open a new door. i dont know if
viagra does that actually. but you get the point.

Also, discussed what cool tunes from the past we are going to BUSTOUT on the
feb/march tour. wel, i am not at liberty to say but even i was surprised at
some of the Singers suggestions...pleasantly surprised...you miss this tour and
you will be sorry. since we have 7 weeks before we spilt, we have time to
really dig into the catalog and shake the set up, as well as the newer songs
that will be performed. so watch out...
