The past few weeks alone are newsworthy. I joined a group on facebook after Irene. It's called "I Survived the Tornado, Hurricane, and Earthquake Week of Summer 2011" lol totally not Joisey weather...

I guess I have to count myself very lucky after Irene. I'm in Bergen county, and there was plenty of flooding here as well as in nearby parts of Passaic county. And then to think about today, and about how many people from around our area did not come home 10 years ago is enough to give you pause. It leaves you with a profound sense of what is really important, and that when we as musicians perform in times of hardship and tragedy that we can serve to lift people up, and give them some brief moment of joy.

Here in Mahwah, there's an exhibit at the town museum which honors our long time resident and guitar/audio genius, Les Paul. I got to meet Les on a few occassions, and I regret not making more of the experience at the time. He truly was a pioneer in a range of musical fields and I hope the exhibit does him justice.

Lastly, I'll be playing in NYC tomorrow night, Monday, September 12th. There's a link to my Twitter feed in my sig which has all the details. Thanks!

It's Pork Roll. THE only meat made in the Garden State. If you call it Taylor Ham, you are immediately kicked out of the club, at least if I have my say....

best porkroll hands down (to me and the wife) is actually Shoprite's 'Tangy' style. I buy the logs of it, slice it pretty thick (like thick as 2 presliced slices... bag most it up for the freezer) and fry it slowly until well done.

So, I did wind up going to the Brighton Bar with my friends bands. It was a fun night. Kenny Aaronson sat in with one of the openers, a band called Frankenstein 3000. They were a real good, fun band. Headliner Glen Matlock's band rocked. Great times.

Glad to hear, yes it was good weather to play outside

I was playing Aqua in Asbury Park @ Coventional Hall. Not 100% sure but I think that's in between both of your gigs?

We were a bit south in Belmar Plaza and then D'Arcy's in Bradley beach.

We did an audition set at Trinity and the Pope in Asbury, heard we'll be getting called back to get on the schedule. WooHoo!

And speaking of porkroll, about 25 years ago I worked across from a luneheonette in Union that made a killer PRECBHF on a kaiser roll. I ate way too many of them things.

First, need you guys to keep me posted. I wan't to catch ya'll next gig here.

Second, PREC on a hard roll is on me!

As for the Matlock show, pissed I missed it. Got sideswiped in the studio and had to re-record half a songs worth of tracks, thanks to the pinkie finger of a now, quite humiliated, sound engineer who clicked the mouse one too many times.

TheVoiceless · #28 09-12-2011, 01:18 PM

Hey Tom,
Well it might have to wait till next year. We should be at Aqua every other Friday starting next Memorial Day till Labor Day.

I'm good but my Guitarist is in Totowa and his basement flooded again and they bailed all day Friday to save the new Furnace and hot water heater they had put in 3 days before!
He almost did not play Fridays gig but his old lady had a change of heart last minute and let him come out to play.We have got a outdoor concert in Pequannock on Sat the 17th, they said it is dry over there for now so I hope it stays that way!

Ah Pork roll with melted cheese and Jersy tomatos the best! My Dr. however begs to differ

Tommy Nat · #31 09-12-2011, 03:40 PM

I like a good burger topped with pork roll, bacon and cheese. I've seen it on a few bars menus round here, but still don't understand why it's not more popular.

If you're around, he's playing in Philly tomorrow night. I'm going to try and make it. After that he's in Baltimore and that's it for a while. Although he isn't playing bass on his solo tour, he's been out playing bass in the UK with the reunited Faces.

That sucks, but you made me lol. Nothing worse than engineer errors when you've laid down good tracks.

Hey Troy - pedalboard in your avatar looks sick!

TheVoiceless · #36 09-14-2011, 10:01 AM

Thanks brother!! Spent the last 8 months on it and all of my gig money

Most are used pedals purchased and researched on TB

Playing a benefit show Friday Sept 23rd at La Quinta/Soho Bar to benefit local flood victims of hurricane Irene. Having lost my home and belongings to hurricane Floyd in 1999, this is a personal subject to me. I am glad I can try and make a difference in my neighbors lives. Having gone through it I know the empty feeling some have right now. How to start over, where to start over. Do you rebuild or take a loss and move?

Cover is your donation, if anyone is interested in attending please click here for details
