Urban Tapestry on MySpace and our NEW DRUMMER!

The new Urban Tapestry MySpace page is up. The graphics above and below were created for this UT page. I'm going to re-do the group collage when I have more time...I know the lighting's wonky.

Just making modifications to the stylesheet for this page and my own MySpace page has taught me more about CSS. Thanks to those who helped me test the UT page with different browsers!

Anyway, you can hear four full tracks on our MySpace page:

THE LADY is based on Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire and was written by one of my music partners, Jodi Krangle. Jodi runs The Muse's Muse, an excellent resource for songwriters. The Lady won a Pegasus Award for Best Song a couple years ago.

THE FRIENDSHIP SONG is by me and is about friendships, sort of. :-) Recorded in concert.

ANOTHER STORY started out as a children's song by me, but got a bit darker than I expected. I took the unfinished song to my music partner Allison Durno, and she finished it by coming up with a great chorus. Recorded in concert.

HOMECOMING is by me, and is based on Ray Bradbury's short story "The Rocket Man" from his collection, R Is For Rocket. It's about love and loss. Recorded in concert.



Allison, Jodi and I had a great practice last night. We did a lot of GAfilk planning and (*gasp) even played some music! Our get-togethers do tend to be more social than work...hey, the three of us are FRIENDS as well as music partners...but we get more serious when there's a gig coming up.

Well, as serious as Urban Tapestry gets. We do have fun when we get together.

I haven't told Allison and Jodi yet, but I think the group needs a drummer. Not just any drummer, mind you, but this particular drummer. Thanks to Jeff for the tip!

Today's Blathering is shorter so you have time to finish reading yesterday's mega-huge entry, by the way.

:-D
