Wretched overindulgence and obnoxious capers. Enough is enough. I am trying to quit cigarettes. It's now the fourth day, and my oh my, it's as insane-making as ever. Will have to avoid the booze too, as that will lead directly to the weed, but that's oke since I need to not drink or nothin'. That's all for now.

Quoted below is an announcement for an upcoming show by my friends the Sharp Things. I've done a little bit of playing with the band, which includes 2 chaps who've been great supporters of my stuff, Perry Serpa and Jim Santo. I was on my way to to Sharp Things session when I had the vivid hallucination (at a shop window) that led to my deep obsession with Berrie Jigglers, which compensates for the fact that my efforts as designated atonalist never made the finished cd: a rich brew of strings, brass and lovely songsmitherance.
In addition to the unusual discipline and devotion necessary to keep such a large band operating, they should also be admired for pursuing a brand of serious-minded orchestral pop that recalls artists like Burt Bacharach, Scott Walker and David Bowie (back when he wore dresses and sang Biff Rose tunes). Since I can't ask you to come see me perform live (unable as I am to attract serious-minded musicians of sufficient discipline and devotion), I urge you to attend this show. Here's the poop:
SAVE THE DATE! The multi-timbral glory that is the Sharp Things will appear in concert Tuesday, June 3 at Joe's Pub, a swanky venue located at The Public Theater, 425 Lafayette Street in Greenwich Village. Tickets are $12 for this show, and worth every penny believe you me. To mark this auspicious occasion, The Sharps will present a luxurious, 60-minute program of music, with special secret surprise guests that will be, uh, special and surprising. If you only see one Sharp Things show this year, make it this one!
