|  | My Old Band's CD Release « Thread Started on Aug 31, 2008, 12:47pm » | |
One of my old bands -- from the long ago days of my musical incarnation -- has cobbled together a collection of our best tunes, re-engineered and -produced them, and released them online and on CD.
You can sample the tunes and my drumming here:

2 of the band's tunes (1 from the above referenced release and 1 from an unreleased recording) are featured on the soundtrack of the 1990's documentary film, Sex, Drugs and Democracy which can be watched here:

I'm appreciative of the fact that the old-band-mate who undertook this release project included me in the proceedings.
I left the band due to my struggles with depression and insane-modern-life in general. It was not an amicable split. I didn't understand myself or my behavior back then, and they didn't understand me or my behavior either.
C'est la vie.
I have no regrets in this regard.
It was not the life for me.

I have been listening for about 20 minutes or so. I like it. Do you get a cut of any profits made on sales?

Thank you for the kind words Odonata.
Yes -- though the possibility of profit is seriously slim to none -- any profit will be equally shared (it's legally setup that way via publishing).

Thanks Straw.
Yup, I was well above-average and so was that band.
Listening back I have a better, objective perspective.
I squandered my talent on drugs, alcohol, low-self-esteem and crazy-women but I have no regrets (overall).
I chased a dream and had a blast -- for a certain period of time -- living on the edge.
Minus the crazy-women. That I could have done with out, big time!

Drugs ,alcohol and crazy women ( crazy men in my case ) are all part of growing up and experiencing life as we do in our youth without it we wouldnt have been older and wiser now .

Thanks KG.
I don't play any more. Hung up the sticks 10-plus years ago.
And this is just one of several bands I played with back in the day.
Perhaps we'll hear your music some day.
