I used to sing this NO TIME by the Guess Who at the top of my lungs back in middle school days. I’m not sure who I was leavin or where I was going. I most distinctly recall, a pool party, at the end of a six week summer camp excursion in New Mexico, and this entire album was playing. It was a boys and girls at the pool mixer. And this song always reminds me of that feeling. I guess I was saying goodbye to all the cuties, in my mind. Or being the rockstar, in my mind. Either way, this song IS SUMMER and LONGING for me.
Picking up the guitar, clipping the fingernails, and figuring out how to record again. All to give this song as a gift to a friend who’s birthday is TODAY. While he won’t want you to say hello directly, if you are a blipper, you can find him under the alias @adamofdallas.
The next video you see, or mp3 file depending on the day’s work, will be for you and your son. Have a great day today AC!

A few more shots of the studio space in the waining moments of a Sunday afternoon.
And with props to my friends on blip.fm @adamofdallas and @ladypn for continuing to push me back into creation mode. Thank you!
And an inspirational song I heard last week during #sxsw. I could not recall the name of the band or the song. But today I found it, thanks to a blip from someone else. Not the correct song, but the name of the band. The THERMALS. Here’s the song Let It Go.

With the encouragement of two dear friends, I have begun processing some of the video from the El Ray show, oh, a few years back. This is the first instalment. The sound is about a 6 out of 10. It was shot on the tiniest video cam I ever saw. Just a fan. He contacted me after the show and offered to send it to me from JAPAN. He did.
This is a gift back to David Bash who has been so awesome to invite Buzzie back to IPO again and again.
Here is the 2nd song in the IPO installment, “I want to know you”:

And also to my blip.fm friends @ladypn and @adamofdallas.

Nothing to do with Robbie Rist – the Simpson’s Voice Over actors without their cartoon on.
All of my love man, and until we play together again… In AUSTIN, oh, say SXSW 010 baby!

Together it has been my pleasure to light up the amps and guitars with Robbie Rist no fewer than THREE times as BUZZIE. Here is the most recent collaboration as Buzzie at the International Pop Overthrow in Orange County this Summer, 2009.

There’s only one problem with this cartoon… Can you spot it?
Jimi Hendrix
Les Paul
Woodstock
Violin
Give up?
Here’s the
punchline
…
Hendrix is famous for playing a Fender Stratocaster not a Les Paul.
Love’m both.
RIP Les Paul and RIP Jimi.
