May 2012


No showing off intended here. I'm going to make a post for each month to diary what was recorded or just taken in. These posts are more so for myself to help keep things organized in case my organs or mind give out by the end of the year. For whatever reason I've decided to start backwards (May and June)...probably because I'm trying to play catch up with more recent stuff that I'd like to share. January etc. will follow. It looks like this month in particular includes a lot of recording sets/shows in 2 or 3 different venues per day. OK, so that last sentence probably has to do a little with showing off. I'm probably also leaving out some Brain Tumors show somewhere where I left microphones and preamps at home because I knew it was going to be too engaging to be documented.
