For anyone who was worried,

January 23, 2002

For anyone who was worried, I made it through the ironclad security at both airports and they seemed to be OK with a guy with flaming-red hair and a dynamic monotone. I'm at my good friend Bud Scoppa's house right now (editor of Hits magazine and ex-Odds A&R man...copy-editing over my shoulder) after spending the day at ASCAP and writing with David Gamson & Oliver Lieber at Oliver's place. He has some nice guitars! Saw Pat Steward at the airport as he headed off to visit his sister in the Bay Area. I'll see the lovely Vincent Leslie Jones in the next few days. As some of you know, he played and helped on "Giddy Up" and works in L.A. as a producer/player/engineer. Lakers & Clippers are on the TV in a crosstown situation, so I'll leave off the net and do as the Romans do and kick back. You can read Bud's review of Giddy Up at:

Just keep scrolling down! The story is titled "Below the Radar". I'll try logging on tomorrow. Up since 4:00 am.
