OVERHANG

So, Grant is trying to write an ad for a bassist on a Christian radio site today and it wouldn't let him type the letters a-s-s because it spells a dirty word. For a laugh, you should check out Grant's frustration with the site at www.thespiritradio.net. The post is in the community section under the topic "Introduce Yourself".

For those of you who don't want to sign up to read Grant's post, he says something like, "Hey, what's wrong with this site? I keep typing b*** guitar, but the middle of the word b*** keeps getting starred out! I don't know how else to say it. I'm looking for a person who plays the instrument that compliments the drums in a rock band. It's not a profane instrument. It just happens to contain an occasionally offensive word in the middle of its own name."

Dan left last week. We're now visiting churches in the Chicago area, looking for bassists. It's a strange feeling, not being a band again. We're again pouring all our energies into the album. Our potential producer friend just heard the recent version and said he no longer thinks he can do anything to it. It sounds finished to him. That's good news. So it will cost a bit less to finish it. It still will cost more money than we currently have, however.

Currently, we're waiting to hear from Angels Net about a grant application we submitted to help pay for it. (Do you know about Angel's Net? It's a non-profit organization that helps fund Christian artists!! Yeah!!) What else are we waiting for?....Let's see...Oh yes, the popular South by Southwest Festival in Austin, TX received our application to play there next Spring. We hope to hear from them in February. Stay tuned 'til then, I guess.
