Thursday, July 09, 2009 Henning says: This is an update on my last post. Lesa Bezo just sent me this link to an article on CNN about it. Here's a quote: "It's very difficult for a night owl to become a morning person." (Dr. Nancy Collop, Medical Director of the Johns Hopkins Sleep Disorders Center)Hmm.. Well, Collop, all I know is I just recorded drums, bass, acoustic guitar, two electric guitars, and a piano this morning at an hour when I normally would be sleeping. I'll take your statement as a challenge. You and me, Collop, one on one. Mano y mano. It's a pretty interesting article if you are into that kind of thing and I found it apropos to my previous post.

Wednesday, July 08, 2009 Henning says: In my attempt to switch my world around, I have started arising earlier in the morning and going to bed earlier at night. This goes against the grain of my entire life up to now. Generally, at just around the time that it seems to make sense to go to sleep, I am the most creatively motivated. I'm trying to dissemble that night-time surge and to reassemble it in the morning. It's a struggle for sure, but for the last three days, I have manged to record a guitar track, several keyboard tracks, percussion, and more for a few new songs and for a Sitting Next To Brian song, all before 10:00 A.M. I've also made my way to the post office twice and to drop off some other papers regarding concerts. I'm getting things done. Weird.How long will I be able to maintain this new backwards life-style? Is it purely a summer phenomena? It's a lot easier to get out of bed when it's warm isn't it? I'm working on a new secret project. My hope is that these morning sessions will be able to help me accomplish the big undertaking that it is. I can't tell you about it because I've read that when you start telling people about your projects, part of your brain will check that project off as started, even when all you've done is talk about it. Or write about it. Do you like mornings? I've always liked mornings. I just like night better. I used to have a paper route that made me the first person awake in my neighborhood. I loved the seclusion of those pre-dawn walks, but I almost always went right back to bed afterward. Sometimes, I'd sleep until the afternoon. Left to my own devices, with no schedules or obligations, I probably would return to that schedule, sleeping from 4:00 AM until Noon. But I'm doing what I can to break that mold. Its an experiment. It can't hurt can it? So what if all my songs are now about mornings.

Monday, July 06, 2009 Henning says:  I'd like to thank everyone who followed my suggestion of slightly altering their expected actions in an effort to stymie the predicted weather pattern last Thursday. It worked. The clouds that were hovering over our outdoor concert in Florence, Massachusetts were bewildered, it seemed. In the end, not a drop fell on the lovely audience on the grass.We had a great time playing. I love nothing more than performing an outdoor concert to a nice crowd. Thank you to everyone who had faith in our plot to control the weather. We're indebted for your presence. A special thanks to those of you who picked up copies of our albums and an extra special thank you to Group DeVille who invited us to play on the bill and who supplied the sound system and allowed us to use their drums and amp. Could you imagine a nice bunch of guys? Photo by: Lucie Germer (1) Comments | Links to this post Permalink | Del.icio.us | Digg | reddit | Technorati | Furl | Blinklist | Email this post to a friend:

Thursday, July 02, 2009 Henning says: "Boy I hope the rain keeps up.""What?!?! Why?!" "So it doesn't come down! Wha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" This evening's concert in Florence, Massachusetts will be held whether the weather is good or not. If it is raining, we are told we will move into a nice indoor venue at the same location. The concert begins at 6:30 with The Fawns followed by Group DeVille and then School for the Dead. I hope you can come out. It's one of our rare early evening, all ages, free appearances. Thank you.

Wednesday, July 01, 2009 brian says: Hey, you all remember when, in 1985 at Live Aid, how Phil Collins called attention to himself by taking the Concorde from London to Philadelphia (or was it vice versa?) so he could grace his fans with his presence on BOTH sides of the pond? (and while he was at it, make a shambolic Led Zeppelin reunion EVEN WORSE by not knowing how to play the songs..)Anyway, I'll be doing my own kinda sorta thing like that tomorrow (or today, if you're reading this on Thursday). Except, no Concorde, no caviar, cocaine, cigar and congnac... Just me manning my Camry (well, it starts with a "c" at least). And no London and Philly, but almost as good: My schedule for July 2, 2009: --work the day job. --get out at 4:30 --home, shower, change --arrive in Florence for the big POP ON THE GRASS show with The Fawns, Group DeVille and School For the Dead. It's free and right in the center of Florence on the corner of Meadow Street and Route 9. Popcorn and beverages will be sold. If it rains, you'll be directed to the nearby Florence Civic Center. (and what a poster, huh? Rick Murnane ladies and gentlemen) --6:30: play with the Fawns --7:05: unwind and watch Group DeVille --7:45: get back on stage and play with School For the Dead 8:30--gather my stuff, get back in the Camry and hightail it down route 9 and then Route 10 (or I could take Florence road, now couldn't I?) to Easthampton to the Apollo Grill!! Why? Well, do you know The National Convention? here THE NATIONAL CONVENTION That should fill you in. Well, I was lucky enough to be asked to play drums at their EP release. Do you like things like Burt Bachrach, ABBA, Steely Dan or Lou Rawls? But I mean original songs that easily equal anything by the above? Do like that kind of stuff played by local talents like Ken Maiuri, Mark Schwaber, Anne Pinkerton, Jason Johnson (and the albums boast performances by Jose Ayerve, Matt Hebert and others who can't make it..). Well, Eric Poulin and Eddie Downy wrote all these songs but enlisted others to play them. Full disclosure: JJ O'Connell was supposed to play drums but is Spousing out so can't do it. Full disclosure: I've had a drink or two so I'm rambling. Long day at work followed by practice. In any case: come to the Apollo Grill tomorrow, Thursday, at 9pm. It is high quality fun, and is ALSO the CD release for Red Door Exchange! The long-awaited return! You will leave with a tear in your eye and hope for mankind. That's all I'm allowing myself to say before going to bed and dreaming about Phil Collins. Thank you.

Henning says: This morning, as I was walking my usual route at my usual time, I decided to try an experiment. You see, the people who predict the weather are suggesting that there is a 60% chance of rain tomorrow. Now, as we all know, School for the Dead, The Fawns, and Group DeVille have an outdoor concert scheduled. That got me thinking about ways to try to change the future.The weather people have made their prediction based on assumptions that the world will carry on in the way that it normally does for the next thirty six hours or so. Well, I'm sorry, weather people, but I happen to believe in free-will. So this morning, as I was walking, I suddenly changed my usual route by about three feet. I also stopped and paused for a beat. In doing this, I believe that I effectively changed the course of events from that instant on. My unexpected maneuver altered the data that the weather people relied on in their predictions. I left a number of possible universes behind me, included the original one in which the weather people existed when they made their predictions, and I created a brand new universe. The weather people have not caught on yet, I don't think. I suggest that if everyone reading this does something unexpected today, we can all change the future. It's a gamble, but it's possible that in this new future we can change the likelihood of rain tomorrow. Come on, take a chance, throw a monkey wrench into the machine of time, and see if you can help out. It doesn't take much, just do something that you weren't going to do until that very instant. You can do it now if you'd like. I can't tell you what to do...they might be reading this. Just use your imagination. Thank you.

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 Henning says: View Larger Map Let's all hope for nice weather on Thursday so we can play outside. Many people have been asking me just where in Florence, MA this show is. Here's a map. Does that help? Pretty fancy, huh? The concert starts right at 6:30 and it runs until 8:00. In order of appearance the bands are: The Fawns, Group DeVille, and School for the Dead. It's completely free, of course, and there will be pop corn and beverages sold. If it does rain, we move inside I believe. Which will be an adventure, too. I hope you can come and join us. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket or a kiddie pool. (0) Comments | Links to this post Permalink | Del.icio.us | Digg | reddit | Technorati | Furl | Blinklist | Email this post to a friend:
