Steve's Tour Diary

  • New York City

    2006-12-06: Welcome to Guitar Geek Heaven. I spent the day today at the Gibson Guitar rehearsal studios on 54th Street where my friends Joe Hurley and James Mastro were preparing for a gig at the Cutting Room on Friday. I'm going to join them for a few songs that I wrote with Joe as well as an interesting covermore

    2006-12-01: I was just reading back over the last few diary entries. Man, that was a long time ago. And even more important-who WAS that guy who wrote those things? All that complaining and fretting about broken ankles and torn ligaments-it couldn't have been me. I'm walking around just fine and, in fact, just finished running amore

    2006-09-21: This one goes out to the people reading this on the MySpace page. I've got to get something off my chest. I understand punctuation. I use punctuation. I love punctuation. Some of my best friends are punctuated. So when you look at these diary things up on MySpace, PLEASE don't even begin to think thatmore

    2006-09-17: I've got no problems with Dylan borrowing several of the lyrics for his new "Modern Times" album from some Confederate Civil War poet. The man's been borrowing and stealing for years and that's one of the things I like about him-good taste, audacity and obscure references are parts of many of my favorite creative works (i.e. "Kill Bill, ptsmore

    2006-09-07: First of all, thanks to all of you out there who have been sending/posting such kind emails and messages in all of the various places. Oh, and thanks for the various gifts as well-I don't exactly know where I'm going to KEEP that herd of livestock and I'm not quite sure that I won't be billed for the in-housemore

    2006-09-04: I'm glad I paid attention during those typing classes in junior high school. I can generally type faster than I talk and if you've spent any time with me you'll know that means I can type pretty quickly. That skill is coming in handy right now as I've been mute for the last 72 hours. Yep, silent.more

    2006-08-30: I was being wheeled on the gurney into the operating room at St John's Hospital in Santa Monica (where, incidentally, I was born 46 years, six months and 9 days ago). I was doing my best to be stoic and focused. I was waiting for the knockout drugs to be pumped into my IV. I was waitingmore

    2006-08-28: It was two days before my surgery and despite hobbling on crutches and an ankle the size of Rhode Island, I insisted on going to the House of Blues to see Linda play with Marty Willson-Piper at the Rickenbacker presents 75 Years of The Electric Guitar extravaganza. Hey, why not? It was a golden opportunity to do furthermore

    2006-08-26: The shows in Los Angeles and Tucson this week have been cancelled. Oh, I hate to type those words. But I also hate to look down my leg at the swollen, purplish (with bits of black) thing that I used to call my ankle and know that I won't be doing much of anything for the next twomore

    2006-08-10: At some point around 10pm I found myself on stage at the Magnetic Field in Brooklyn singing "Shake Some Action" (and two other Flaming Groovies songs) with local rock club impresario Todd Abramson and backed by Linda, Dave, Chris Brokaw, Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley to a handful of people that included Dan Stuart and George Pelecanos.
