nice!

here's some pictures that mysteriously look like a nickelback, 3 days grace and breaking benjamin concert that didn't allow cameras in last sunday night. and i don't know how they got on here, either. i was just going to make a post about how great the concert was, and they just magically appeared! misti really enjoyed the full pat down body search. but the guy rubbing her up was much cuter than the one that rubbed me up. oh well.........

here we go again.

alright, things are back to as normal as they get around here. and for those who might have received an email or text message with a picture attached last week, i apologize, and rest assured that i promise i will not be posting any pictures of my privates (or any part thereof) on this fine blog.

i did finally update my website on where and when we are playing next, and i must say last weekend was one of the best and most fun weekends that premonition has had. we didn't have to play whiney country half the night and the people were really into dancing. tonight we have to go load all our equipment, then i get the rest of the week off to go snowboard and relax from this horendous lifestyle that i lead. some days it takes all the energy i have just to be me.

anyways, rangersis and her new husband, who i have yet to make up a sufficiently demeaning nickname for yet, and his sister have all invaded my homestead, forcing me and holly dog to grab the beer, nacho cheese dip, and a couple dvds and retreat to the fifth wheel camper while they take up residence in my domestic domocile. and, very special thanks to my misti for always being there for me. ( you know what you did, don't make me admit in front of everyone that you cleaned my house while i slept all day after playing guitar all night) luckily the camper is well stocked with necessities, and i hooked up the cable tv, so life is good. unless the furnace quits.


also, thank you everyone for your kind thoughts on my uncle howard, and i'm quite amazed at how many people downloaded the song, it was over 100 the last time i checked!

2 weeks ago today, my uncle howard, known on this blog as the kansas heckler "unk", passed away after a decade long battle with cancer. he will be greatly missed by his family, and all his friends that he played music with over the past 30 years.

he and my uncle bill were always playing guitar together from the time i can remember, and were a great influence in me wanting to learn to play as a kid. of course, they were quick to give up on me amounting to much, as i wanted an electric guitar, and in their opinion if it plugged in it wasn't an instrument. (a feeling shared by my father, as these are his brothers) fortunately for me, they softened in their old age, and would at least occasionally talk to me about music after i started playing full time with premonition. of course, it was always in some dark alley or while fishing out in the middle of nowhere, as their bluegrass reputation was on the line. out of these back woods chat sessions, though, came the idea for the bluegrass/old country album we have been working on since july of last year. and while i still have a few bass and rythm guitar parts to finish recording, luckily all of howard's were done, and the mixing had begun on several tracks, one of which he really liked, so it was played at the cemetary for his funeral. it was the first time any of the songs had been played in public, and went over really well, so here it is for anyone who wants to download and listen to one of the songs that will be on the album.


I am a Pilgrim Download Song
howard wood- guitar (lead and rhythm) and vocals
william (bill) wood-mandolin
hank wood- bass and rhythm guitar


for the rest of the songs, you'll just have to wait until the album is done, and yes, it will still be finished, as planned. there is also a post howard was working on from when he went to the bluegrass festival in winfield kansas last fall, i will see if uncle bill wants to add anything to it since he was there also, before i post it.

so that is where i have been the last 2 weeks. in other news, carl actually updated the Premonition Live website! and i will get our schedule updated on my site this week also.
