Well, I guess it has been another month since I've posted anything and for that I have an excuse.  I'm afraid to say anything about the CD until it's really done.  And since it has been "done" for over a year and a half now, I'm definitely losing my blog credibility :O)

In all seriousness, we are so damn close.  MAY 1 is the deadline to have physical, tangible CD's in our collective mitts.  In order to make this deadline, I doubted Ralph and told him there is NO WAY he can do that!  Which, of course, is the oldest motivational method known to man. 

Now, Ralph knew I was screwing with him, but the point was made.  You can't rush creativity, but you can work through production issues such as design, titles, legalities, UPC codes, credits, and all the things that you don't want to hold up your music production.  The CD leaves for mastering today and we should have it back in one week.  Then off to production and we should have CD's by May 1st.  Am I betting on it?  HELL NO - But, it's with a sense of humor that this and most of anything I write should be taken.  So besides the obvious, what else did Gizzae gain by going through this second CD?

Well, for one thing, technology has changed quite a bit in the last 10 years.  Everyone of the guys now has the tools to record ideas and also work alongside so many of the brethren that want professional quality recordings with professional musicians backing them up.  Rocket, Ralph and Clem all spend countless hours working with recording music, and not just their own. 

And now to something totally unrelated - I love white baseball hats.  I'm working on designing a line of reggae hats and I've always appreciated the nice clean look of a white hat.  So - I did what I normally do and that was look at starting another web site and/or look for a domain name.  Now, if you do not know me, I'm am rarely serious and have a sense of humor about everything.  With that caveat, I was cracking up (no pun) at my search.  I was looking for whitehats.com or something like that.  Well, my own search found that the name was taken but here were a few options for me to look at:



Well, CrackerHatsLive.com is not exactly what I meant when I was looking for White Hats!!  Snowy hats, well, I understand that, but CRACKERHATS?  Not only is that word nearly extinct, but how the hell can a search produce such a word?  I'm amazed and I thought I would show you all as well.  Crazy.

Stay tuned as Summer is almost here and we all know that in Chicago, there is no such thing as spring.  Winter and Construction are the two seasons, but for me, it's winter and REGGAE!
