We recorded yesterday at The Bunker in Brooklyn. Basic tracks were laid down for most of the album. Ron is playing drums with a glomus tumor under his left thumb. He won’t have it removed until after the session is complete. He’s also playing with a pinched nerve, causing muscle atrophy on his hands. He’s like the Hulk when the Hulk is David Banner with a glomus tumor under his thumb.
Pictures are currently up on my Flickr site and Facebook.
We’re going back in today. We will be putting more pics up on our Twitter page.

I’ve been working on Schubert’s Winterreise song cycle. Here is a recording I did of “Auf dem Flusse” with David Fairchild on piano.
Auf dem Flusse
When I was in the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, we did a show in Ohio. After the show, Baby Dee invited the Fabulous Miss Una and me to stay at her house. She was living with her folks as they weren’t doing well. I’d only heard stories about her as she was in the Bindlestiffs before me. We stayed up late as she and Una caught up and then she gave us her bed. It wasn’t until the next day that I realized she slept on the floor of her dining room and was getting up at 5am to do her paper route. She’s a wonderful soul.
If you’ve never seen Baby Dee perform, then I suggest you do so. It’s haunting whimsy.
Those performing this show include myself along with Andrew W.K., Corn Mo, Aimee Curl, Little Annie and Paul Wallfisch, Curtis Eller, Mathew and Sarah, Phillip Raya and Lila (Rima Fand’s choir) and 9 year old Frannky Lou Hightower from Kansas City.
The show is February 4 at 7pm.
