Pier 77, Oct 4th

 Live recordings via iPhone at my last Pier 77 gig for the year.  Really great swanky place.  Best gig I hold down for three and a half months out of the year.  Now its back to the hand to mouth existence I'm more accustomed to.  At the very least I, and now you, can harken back to a time not so long ago when bills were paid without fear and gas was 3.98 a gallon.....

Featuring my cohort Luke Goodine, back in Maine, hawking insurance and ivories.  Also featuring the staff at the Pier, loose silverware, patron banter as white noise, and an audible source of wallpaper.

Tune Up:

Recordings!

I have two recordings coming up and/or out. I just did a session for a solo album by Dana Gross, just really great songwriting, which will probably finish up by this month. And next month I'm doing a jazz disc with Mike Stockbridge. It reminds me alot of the second great Miles Davis quintet. The songs build and build as a unit, very organic I 'spose. And the drummer, Shawn Boissonneault, gets to freak out. I get to be the Ron Carter to his Tony Williams. Oh joy!

I don't update this thing often enough. I'm still on the fence about blogging. I need a website that features javascript games, "The Duane Experience."

Facebook may become a reality soon (again).

Stuff in May

I've put up a new song, "Chowdah a la Mode," from the album. This is the first tune we recorded, I liked the way it came out. It shall humbly live on my blog until we find a better avenue for said recording.

Here is the poster for our next big gig at Blue in Portland on Saturday. Clicking on the image gets you a bigger and higher fidelity picture, which I recommend.

New Music!

Today I am posting the title track from a new album with a new trio. According to the sleeve it is recording "AC-014" put out by the Avant Coast. As impressive as that sounds it is quite grassroots. This was originally conceived by Thom Keith for entry in the RPM challenge. And now we have another gem/diamond-in-the-rough for the greater independent music scene in the tri-state area. Oh boy. Follow down the blog to my music box courtesy of Box.net and click on "Under the Moose" by Keith, Edwards, Barnette.

Raging Media

My anger with blogspot currently knows no end. None of the 1,000,000 widgets for mp3s work. It's simplicity baffles my basic HTML knowledge. I am stopping now before I dropkick the monitor out of existence (perhaps the printer as well).

Here is something from a little over a year ago with my friend Hassaan and an awesome drummer, Will Mason. Audio quality is not the best, but its a neat little clip of us playing "Four on Six" at Bowdoin College.



There is an audio snippet to the right which probably does nothing. I'm leaving it there for now until I, or divine intervention, get it to work.
