new song
Hey, check this out. There's a new song of sorts posted on line. It's from Brit and I played guitar on it so I'm pretty psyched for people to hear it.
Brit wrote it and she has me, Marc Cannata, Luke Hebert and Mike Woods playing on it. Marc drummed in Far From Finished, Luke is in the band Wheat and
Mike was in Damone so it's a pretty sweet line-up on there. The song is called C'mon C'mon and you can hear it at this link:

I mostly lurk these days given my schedule, but I meant to give this a listen a few days ago and never got around to it. Finally did.
To give a backhanded compliment which is itself a backhanded compliment to myself, it's a bit too well-done for my tastes. I like it, but I like it
in the way I like classical music... it's very good, technically proficient, and I enjoy listening to it, but there's something missing that prevents
me from forming a connection with it. For lack of a reasonable way of explaining it, there's some sort of authenticity that's lacking, which is my
fancy way of saying that it somehow just seems too polished for me. That said, I'd buy the EP when it comes out and would enjoy it, but a big part of
that is knowing that Brit, Mark, and Cannata were behind it.
All that being said, I can appreciate this as an extra step in evolving beyond Sinners and Saints. S&S managed to move beyond punk rock and hardcore
while still maintaining the same authenticity, so I could still connect with it. Mark's solo stuff does the same, but went even further in that
direction. Brit's music goes a step beyond, where I can still appreciate it, but it somehow crossed over into that territory that I just can't
connect with... it's part of a world I've never quite fit into.
So, the backhanded compliment to me is that it's too good for me. 
All that being said... when you guys (and gal) break through and become millionaire rock stars - like we all know can and likely will happen - don't
forget us little people.

Oh, and what is the deal with Cannata leaving FFF? I had no idea until I saw them recently and one of the guys in the band mentioned it. Wasn't that
guy the driving force behind the entire band?

I should be clear.... Marc and I were just session players on this recording. The songs are all Brit's so there isn't really a connection between what
Marc or I have done and these tunes. It's totally unexplored territory for me.
