Had to throw together something real quick for St. Paddy's Day, since I wasn't playing a show this year. It's not perfect, but you're probably all drunk anyway!

Ants Marching - Original Demo - King's English

I can write the hip hops.  This was after a conversation with someone about how people will listen to anything.  The chorus is "CSMF2BB every time I touch you my 2BI" which stands for "cocksucking, motherfucking two-ball bitch, every time I touch you my two balls itch."  I think It's a hit.

By the way, the "verse" is "I knew a lady way down west, she had mountains on her chest.  She had hair between her legs, that's where I'm gonna lay my eggs.  Hamlet went to the barber shop.  Asked the barber to shave his cock.  Slip with the razor, off went his balls.  Hamlet shit in his overalls."

On September 29, my band, King's English, celebrated 20 years since our first gig. Over the weekend, I came across our first ever demo, no cassette no less. Needless to say, a 20+ year-old cassette isn't crystal clear quality, but still pretty cool to hear!

Found this tape from over thirty years ago of a short-lived band I had in college called "Aural Sects." I know, clever, right? *eye roll* This was the first time we got together and jammed, I believe.

Here's a recording my younger son, Max, made today. He is doing all the parts (except the drum track, which is a loop). He's 14 and has been playing guitar for about a year, and is a huge Zappa fan. Pretty cool, if I do say so myself, and I do!
