Rock Notes
- November 2012
- Hello and good morning, I am listening to Breakfast with the Beatles this fine Sunday morning in November sipping a lovely cup of Typhoo tea and enjoying the view from my new digs in bucolic Cotati, Ca. I Have been putting in a lot of hours at my day job on the docks in San Francisco trying to make my hours before my work year calendar expires in December so I am glad to have a day off! Lucky for me The Sorentinos don’t have any gigs this month cuz I might be too tired to rock and roll all night long! But I am glad to say we have some fun shows coming up in December and then on to 2013!
- I am hoping to get back to some songwriting and making some noise with the boys in the studio next year. I still have one more album to put out to complete my trilogy of one country record (Lucky Buck) a blues album (Blues Century Twenty one) and then my English pop/ rock record. These touchstones are my musical roots along with Jazz, but I don’t really have the chops to really play jazz so I have to leave that one alone! Who knows one day I may try one anyway! So I have to get busy writing those songs. I don’t have any laying around right now so we will see how it goes, all Sorentino albums are pretty much a mixture of Blues, Country, English pop/rock and garage rock anyway, but it’s fun to try to write them in their pure form.
- Oh the garage album was “If Not Now, When?” kinda. Most of the songs were written that way, in a way no matter what we do it comes out sounding garage cuz that’s where we are from! Well I will try to post one more note before our gigs in December, now that I am not trying to sell a house or buy a house, I am hoping to have more time for fun stuff like music!
- dig you later, Danny man
