What's up with George? Featured Music: "Saving Edith Keeler"

Of course we had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! We feasted and feasted and enjoyed each other. Then Rockslide played Meehan's on Friday and that was a party. Then we saw my buddy Lloyd Lindberg make is debut on the big stage at IMAC, warming up for the stilll-amazing Phobe Snow. Sunday? Football baby! Jets and Giants baby! Subway Super Bowl baby!

We just booked a December 16 date for The John Sullivan Brigade at the Munchaba Lounge ; always a friendly venue for us. It's a nice early show and we're playing two sets so come on down! We'll be previewing some new music from the upcoming CD, so if you're a fan of the band that's something you won't want to miss! I mean really, where do you get more "bang" for your entertainment dollar than with live local music?

Rockslide had a lot of fun playing a packed Meehan's of Huntington last weekend and we always love playing there; seeing friends old and new. We're looking forward to closing out the year on the 28th and then Rockslide goes on hiatus (for live gigs, anyway) until January.

Wow, I've had some really special musical experiences this year and recently had another. Rockslide got to take over my Mom's garage to do our first serious recording session.

Back when I was 13, 14 years old sitting in the garage with my little amp, I'd dream of the day when I could make a real record with a real band in that garage. Well, it only took nearly 40 years but I finally got to do it, and it was beyond special. Thanks guys, it really meant a lot!

Rock on! GG
