Had to check my watch... Gosh, is it still 1980? * Finished a wonderful, succesful, stupidly creative stint in the Bay Area and then drove back home last night, feeling chuffed as only those rare, monster sessions leave you. Sometimes you just know when there's history in the making. The drive itself was only memorable because at 11pm I stopped in at Carl's Junior on the way home, somewhere between San Jose and Wherever, CA. attracted by the Portobello burger commercial, and it is indeed a memorable feast! Could feed a family........ Woke up shattered but at home for a bit as my folks arrive from Oz tomorrow, for Thanksgiving in Medora, IN, and another memorable feast to be had there, no doubt! It's their first Thanksgiving as is Talon's, whom they'll meet for the first time, and they'll have to be on their game to understand all the accents Southern Indiana tosses up. We, of course, don't have one...... we speak the Queen's English - like the Irish before us! Talon's ten weeks old today - so gorgeous and quite a chatterbox (no accent there either). Then my month turns turtle and gets nuts as I have 12 long flights before the year's out, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Indianapolis and London - all multiple times - and I'm not looking forward to the equivalent of 5 days in airports and the same non-stop flying, but there's work to be done.

11/11 "We will remember them."
Back home with both beautiful sons and wife - Sunday threw up an overcast day - perfect for "babysitting" the growing infant while Brett Favre gets his game on and wife makes soup! * Terrific studio sessions are throwing up sensation after sensation, and make this job really worth doing! For interesting Rock goss - check Ross' site. He's more apt to cough up some juicy tidbits than I.......... * My parents are coming in from Australia next weekend, to experience their first Yankee Thanksgiving, in Indiana! Joe Bonamassa - Sloe Gin is #1 on the Billboard Blues charts for 9 weeks now!

Guy Fawkes Day yesterday - we used to celebrate it every year, in the home country, when I was growing up, with loads of fireworks.... ahh, those were the days - I'd bet my eldest son couldn't tell me what it's all about.
In the middle of recording vocals yesterday, I got a call from a very excited Richard Young (Kentucky Headhunters) because his son's band, Kentucky's rock 'n roll preachers Black Stone Cherry, had won Best Newcomer at the Classic Rock Awards in London on Monday night. Their album (mixed by Yours Truly and therefore the plug) has done very well indeed, and it seems they'd like to continue the collaboration. Seems Classic Rock was honoring Jimmy Page through the evening and I am sure excited to see him play in December.

Back home last night, to loving wife and ever-so-slightly fussy youngest son - (the elder is busy being dark and getting tattoos! Oy!). It's good to be home, although in my absence, wife and mother-in-law have taken to invite the DOG onto the bed to sleep, so I have had to reinstate my position as Alpha Dog and send it scuttling to the floor! Scram! * Pats and Colts tomorrow - don't visit - I'm looking forward to some football............ Led Zeppelin have had to postpone their tribute show, which cost me a fortune and now jeopardizes my seeing it, as there are other things in life I need to do. So, that will mean working in Vegas that week...

Up in San Francisco for a couple of weeks - it's foggy. Went for a bike ride along the bay - had flashbacks to working here with Steve Perry and the J-boys in 1996.
Don't understand what you are saying here about recapturing Captured. Though if they were doing anything that includes Rolie again, it could be "history in the making".
