I'M BURNING UP!

I apologize to my blog readers that I didn't post on Sept. 23 as predicted.

Even as I type this in, I'm burning up with fever.

But I have so much to talk to you about. While I was away from the office, I saw two theatrical releases, "The Brave One" and "3:10 to Yuma." (You know I'm in a two-year-plus Western phase, and you know I worship Peter Fonda.) I have rehearsals coming up this weekend. (God willing, If this thing ever breaks.) I had lunch with two old college buddies, one of whom I hadn't seen in 16 years. And I played my songs for Kathy on my acoustic/electric Takamine.

So anyway, please hang in there. Maybe by tomorrow, I'll have enough energy and brain power leftover to post a coherent blog. (When you see my PAGE X feature this Friday -- an interview with one of my favorite guitarists of all time, Earl Slick -- feel free to marvel at the fact that it was produced, writing AND design, in under five hours with a hot forehead.

And not the first time, baby. Don't cry for me. THE DEADLINE WAITS FOR NO MAN.
