The countdown is on=18 1/2 days until recording FEZZ classic"DEVIL DRINKS MINT TEA."I last did a studio recording in 1993. Then<<<<<<15 year "rest>>>>>>>>attempted to kickstart FEZZ in 2008-did an EP at my bassist's friend's basement-building tracks from the drums up------then drummer goes MAD------6 year "rest"
NOW IS THE TIME! FEZZ band #3 is 2 years old. We have "our" sound nailed down. 2/18/17 things get FEZZZZZZEEEDDDD. I'm cutting the tracks live in one room-good enough for Coltrane is good enough for me. EVERYBODY wants to talk me out of this-----
"Tim, get the drums first-then create the song."
Why are people so afraid of recording live? FEZZ demo was cut in 8 hours=8 songs-5 were first takes. I was an LP player then----engineer handed me a Strat---Tele-----They were guitars-run the tape-play the song. I learned that day I could play any guitar. I played through a Purple Plexi head and a half-stack. We had a couple of baffles-we got REAL Rock that day.

I had plans to use my Ron Wood ESP Tele and 2004 Am DX Strat. Last Saturday this all went up in smoke. I was grabbing my Strat and I heard some "grumbles" from my guitar tree-stand.
"Take me. I've been with you since '92, only your Custom has been with you longer."
My Sg was pleading for action. My poor '86 Sg. Always getting the shaft. I tried to sell the Sg in 1994 after I quit FEZZ #1. It was in many hands. Price was $225. Everybody blinked. My JERKO friend offered me $175! I swore that day-
"NOBODY WILL EVER GET THIS SG............I'm INSULTED!
The Sg almost became #1 in 2011 when I forced my guitar tech to play drums in a SUPER-POWER duo. We played many gigs at THE JODY KING'S garage before he went NUTSO! My drummers always lose their threads.
Saturday I answered the Sg's calls. We played better than ever. Drummer+bassist were in AWE! Both agreed- Tim, play this guitar always. We rode home together-Sg and man in love

I just went to Positively Records. I ordered 5 cd set =Molly Hatchet Original Album Classics
Molly Hatchet-Flirtin' with Disaster-Beatin' the Odds-Take No Prisoners-No Guts...No Glory.
I already owned first Hatchet. I wanted Flirtin'- it was out of print? So I laid down $37 and bought the boat. . I also bought 30 guitar mags for $10. Vintage Guitar World+Guitar Player+ Creem+Circus. I must feast on R+R for the next three weeks. I told Mrs. FEZZ to get the bed of nails out of the attic.
Three hours sleep nightly. Black coffee every hour. I must bond with the Sg. I will play unplugged in front of the fire. I must pound ZAPPA and HATCHET. Joe's Garage meets Jukin' City. I must make Frank and Danny Joe Brown proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
