Welcome to a new year with Diamond Head Mountain. We are all extremely pleased with the band’s opportunities to play in new venues in 2011, and excited to play in even more in 2012. We’re actively seeking additional bookings for late March through December, so please keep us in mind and recommend us to your friends and colleagues.
The first practice of the year included four new songs, two of which are originals. These will be the first secular songs of Gene’s that the band has performed. More are scheduled to be included throughout the year. “Full Speed Ahead” is the title of one that really shows the direction of the band – passion and drive. Come to think of it, that would be a great title for a new CD.
January and February are creative times for band members. Gene and Marcy will be traveling and have ample opportunities to write new material. Everyone else is also working on new material and honing already great skills. Don’t you just love the way Chris and Elliott play off each other, pushing each other to even better picking? I sure do. And I just heard Tommy doing more impressive lead work on his Martin. He definitely will be playing more solo breaks! Now, is it possible for Ralph to sing with more heart? Don’t think that can be done!
It’s time to head to the Ft. Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, so we’re off to Texas. Currently, Mar. 31 at the Cafe on the Green will be our first show this year. Hope to see everyone then. Thanks for being such supportive fans. We make the music, but you make our day.
