A bunch of news on the music front. First, it\u2019s time to say goodbye to the Day Trippers, at least for the time being. Here\u2019s one last video from our inaugural gig last August at Heights Fests in Berkeley Heights, NJ.<\/p>\n

I jammed last weekend with Charlie Guitar, and brought in young Wolfgang on bass. We got thru four songs together and all agree the songs sound good and the project is worth pursuing. Charlie calls Heat Wave \u201cthe crazy one\u201d, but Wolfgang had no trouble keeping up. Now it looks like we may have a drummer to complete the lineup. Charlie reached out to a friend of his who listened to my demos and likes the songs, and agreed to come by next session, which will be next week. Not sure how long it\u2019ll take to get a set together, but it\u2019ll be fun. I suppose to really do justice to the records I\u2019ll need to add a sax player, but that\u2019s still down the line a ways.<\/p>\n Third, with Left Hook now getting our set together and looking for gigs, I put together a web page for the group:<\/p>\n http:\/\/zingman.com\/music\/lefthook.php<\/a><\/p>\n This part of a new round of updates to my site.
