And then I .....
Thought you might like an update on my crazy life.
We did finally play the other night in Washington D.C. after the string of canceled dates due to Meat being ill. I felt bad for Meat because no one felt worse than he did about not being able to perform. There was just no way, given his condition that a show was possible until he got the OK from an ENT MD.
As you can see from the picture above, some work went on anyway and the band and myself spent a couple of days cleaning up some errant notes from the show that was filmed in London Ontario. Unlike most other bands who tend to take a live show into the studio and turn it into anything BUT live, we didn't go overboard in re-recording anything. Just a few very wrong notes here and there.
So, the band is on a break right now but, me? No such luck. I'm going to L.A. next week to finish cleaning the live show up and then meeting with James Michael who will be mixing over 72 separate tracks (instruments and vocals, not songs!) from the show. He's a good guy and a great songwriter and I know he'll do a wonderful job.
I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who has been enjoying the YouTube videos. I've read all your comments and it seems like you're getting a kick out of my directorial efforts. I certainly have fun doing them and now, whenever people see me walking around the backstage area with my camera held out, they tend to roll their eyes and run for cover. You would have thought Randy would know better than to talk to me anymore. I guess he likes the attention.
Now, I know most of you are aware that my latest CD 'All Sides' is in stock but just in case you think I'm crying wolf check out this little commercial I made ...

I'm not the best salesman in the world (YA THINK?) but I did want as many people as possible to know it's out and available.
So, once I get home from L.A. I get to sleep for a few hours then hop on a plane for London to start the second leg of the Bat III Tour.
Our first break comes in July but since there is about three weeks off I've managed to talk the boys from The New Cars into letting me do as many shows as I can in July. I'm happy they want me back. And I'm also NUTS for working pretty much non-stop.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the Meat Loaf shows in the UK, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland ... the live DVD should be a real treat to watch and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ...
Pick up a copy of ALL SIDES. It's a wonderful way to have a total KASIM experience (you'll also need to be wearing a Kasim T-Shirt, Sweat Shirt, Ball Cap or Diamond Studded Name Plate for the full effect).
