Hello There, No-Star Nation;
Just a quick update to let you know that things are moving along behind-the-scenes. We have a previously released track that will be included on the upcoming "Jammin' for a Cure" CD to benefit breast cancer research. Also, work on The Batcave Recording Studio is coming along swimmingly; we'll have some new projects to announce here soon.
Joel will continue to take his health sabbatical for the time being; we have hired our old friend Tony Blasting (formerly of the Bleeding Hearts) as a long-term sub on bass, so look for him and say "hey" on our upcoming gigs this summer. We're planning a big benefit concert for Joel and his family this Fall, and we'll certainly keep you all informed.
I've got some more review copy coming out soon in Drum! Magazine, so look for my byline there.
Our condolences go out to former Mighty No-Star and saxophonist Jack Prybylski, who recently lost his mother after a brief illness. Our prayers and thoughts are with you, Jack.
Thanks for your continued support, God Bless & Good Blues,
GJ

Music listeners etiquette guide:
Live performance:
From time to time you may find a live performance too loud for your liking. Among the many options such as finding a quieter club for your conversation, moving farther from the band, or noise reducing earware, is the idea of speaking for everyone with a direct request for lower volume from the band.
Some would start with an attention getter ranging from a mild "hey fellas" or "pardon me" to blanket accusations of fornication or other outright profanity. Seasoned musicians suggest the hand clasp and slight bow followed by the two handed motion palms down indicating a request for lowering of volume. This is guaranteed to work every time assuming you own the club or are otherwise involved in the band paying process. Be that not the case, look for a handy tip jar and indicate your appreciation of the hard work and talent along with a desire for lower volume. (understand your performers have likely been going deaf for some time). Look for more handy live music do's and don'ts right here at Juke the Mighty!
