 32 years ago today.   At Live Tonight!!! in NJ.  The first band I played a gig with in NYC, playing bass. Was a great time, the band was "The Current"  We did a mix of originals and covers, mainly originals, but covers included "Why?"  "Paint It Black", "Solitary Man", "Live For Today", "Black Is Black", "Tears Of A Clown" and the tune in the video.  "It's Not unusual," which is kind of funny because @Spin just did a piece on Tom Jones and his new album. "It's Not Unusual" was on the first demo we did.  In a semi-Spinal Tap/cliché rock and roll type thing, the drummer never showed up.   So the owner of the studio, Steve Missal,  sat in on drums.  It just so happens he was the drummer who played on Billy Idol's first album including the hit "White Wedding."  (Really nice guy.)  In addition to It's Not Unusual, we also recorded a couple of originals.  So I went into the bo...

The largest tumor in my lungs is 6.4 cm x 5.4 cm, up a bit in one direction (from 5.8 to 6.4 in two months, .1 cm down in the other direction, 5.5 cm to 5.4, but that could be within margin of error). For giggles I made a 6.4 cm x 5.4 image in Photoshop. But that is so...
