Oh please pass the cheese

This recording is from the same night as the one in my last post. It's Aaron Garber-Maikovska singing whatever comes to his mind and me playing the guitar part of one of my new songs. Greg Peters plays the surprise solo part way through.

My favorite line is when Aaron says:

"If we move fast enough
He won't know we're there
like the devil may care
with the Doc Marten's on
and my punk rock stare.
Look at the dogs, look at the geese
look at the apples and the cheese"

Aaron is a multi-media artist living in LA, raised in Berkeley and Petaluma. Music is featured in a lot of his work, check out the Youtube link below for a wild performance art piece filmed in a gallery. Whenever we hang out there are usually more harmonicas than inhibitions and the hours pass hysterically.

My Baby Don't Wear the Gas Mask

This is the kind of ridiculous freestyle session that can only happen around four in the morning when you're chilling with friends you haven't seen in a few months. After our good friend Greg Mullan's wedding on Saturday a group of us ended up back in Petaluma with a couple guitars, some cold cuts and no intention of going to sleep.

Gabe Griffith kicks off the session spraying his metaphorical mace, Greg Peters and I pick up on the guitars and drop the backup vocals on the first chorus. The second MC is Aaron Garber who always brings a killer stream of consciousness. You don't hear Greg Peters sing very often but he lays into a funky falsetto in third verse and almost hits most of the notes.
