music film life
One of my favorite coffeeshops is Flying Saucers. Ryan Morris, the owner, graciously invited me to play my song Flying Saucer at the most recent art opening, an exhibition of UFO inspired pieces by Sean Day.
Flying Saucer hasn’t landed on a recording yet but it’s been circling the cosmos for a while, dating back to shows with Velvet in the 90’s. It was a mini reunion as Velvet bassist Mark Prudeaux joined my on vocals.
After reuniting with my old crew we figured there’s no reason not to get Velvet on the internet. So after quite a few years we make our debut. We toured, got distribution, made videos. Lots of good times.
It really happened. The Velvet reunion was a success. If you look closely at the pic you can see that our audience is aging with us. lol. All kidding aside (rim shot) it was great to play 3.5 songs together. We can do it again in a few years. It’s enjoyable to play music with friends.

Someday I’m going to make that Velvet myspace page.
My good friend, Kevin Caetans, is having his holiday party tonight. That means our band from the 90’s, Velvet, might play a song or two at his house. Velvet did a lot of cool things. Our CD was one of the very first enhanced CDs and we were nationally distributed. No hits but a lot of experience in how not to run a music label. Pictures at 9…
