You asked for it, and you’ve got it! The Blue Wires will be playing the Abbey Lounge in Somerville, MA on August 14th. Here’s the schedule for the night, because we wouldn’t want you to miss anything:

21.00 - Girl On Top
21.45 - Crushing Low
22.45 - The Blue Wires
23.45 - 3:27’s
We’re very excited about this gig, as the Abbey Lounge is like a second home to a few of us, and it’s definitely one of my favorite places to play.
With that said, you’d better get cracking learning some of our songs, so head on over to http://www.thebluewires.com/music/ now and have a listen!
After taking all of April off, the Blue Wires, are finally back to work again. We’ve been rehearsing the last couple of weeks, writing some great new songs, and are looking to start booking some gigs. All good things.
Now, what do you think of the new site? Hmm..? Good, bad, ugly? There are some photos up now too, which is pretty awesome, and about time. Hopefully more photos will follow.
There’s going to be some music, finally, that’s going to be posted. We’re just about done mixing three songs. Two are already ‘in the can’, with a third destined to be finished this weekend.
It’s pretty exciting times here with the Blue Wires, so back, hold on to your hat, and enjoy the ride!
Because I know you’re all interested in what I’m listening to currently, here ya go:
The Black Crowes - War Paint
And that’s it!
Today the subject came up at work, as it does, about the movie The Incredible Mr. Limpet. Don’t ask me how this subject came up, I’m really not sure, but the subject came up. I started talking about how, when I was a kid, I would watch this movie every single time it came on TV. I have such fond memories of this film, it’s definitely one of Don Knotts better works, right up there with the Ghost and Mr. Chicken.
During the conversation I mentioned that I used to have a fish named Mr. Limpet (2000 - 2003). I got Mr. Limpet, who was a Japanese fighting fish, as a Christmas gift from my aunt. She has quite a funny story about getting him home from the fish store tucked in her shirt because of the weather, but I’ll leave her to tell that story, not me.
I loved that fish. I cared deeply for that fish. When Mr. Limpet finally passed on, in September of 2003. I buried him in the backyard and said goodbye to him. I haven’t owned a fish since. Not that I don’t want to mind you, but because I want to remember my special connection I had with him.
These days my life is filled with the joy of my son, Dylan. He’s seven and a half months old and he fills each of my days with wonder and excitement. I love him with my whole heart. Sometimes when Dylan and I are playing and there’s a fish in a book, or something like Finding Nemo comes on TV, I think about Mr. Limpet, and I think about how much him and Dylan would’ve liked each other.
I miss you Mr. Limpet, I hope you’re happy wherever you are.
