Lori letter

Hi-

Hope you're doing well. Listened to the new George Martin and son's Beatles collage on the way to my sister's on Thanksgiving, amazing how great they still are and always will be.

Just picked up Aimee's new album- had to turn the bass down just a bit (that's what happens when your bass player becomes your producer)- first impression was "very nice but fake.." Then thought- I knew she was a great songwriter- she's also an incredible vocalist. Started settling into the album- how can you go wrong listening to Aimee Mann sing? Looking forward to starting up the car/stereo tomorrow and hearing more.

I'll be out of town when she's at the Egg, though..

I won't get into it just yet- but I couldn't help but notice "message from geri ratigan"- interesting story, I'll tell you more later. Big hint: "I Will Survive," the disco song. Hint #2- me and my band.

Hint #4- arrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!!!... Ok..

Well, I do believe that ambien is settling in- sometimes you forget or don't notice.... the clock too is making faces at me and the TV turned itself off. The post office is closing, and the mail box will lock.

Now it's time.. turn out the light...

Goodnight-

talk to ya later..


PS. I finally got myself a (Martin!)12-string (acoustic) guitar. I sound like me playing a really good guitar, or two at once.... with a little George and McGuinn thrown in when picking instead of strumming. It smells real good too- I think I'll play it all weekend! Really fits in well with the Mitch Band- Mitch on vocals, keys, harp, 6 & 12-string acoustics, electric 6-string, percussion stuff... all songs written and arranged by Mitch. Heard by a couple people here, couple people there. Usually me and then myself.....
