way back machine: 1986

So, while I was in New Jersey (*shudder) I took a very thorough trip through my history in documents (audio & visual). I have plenty to share, but I wanted to get this out because it seems worth it. 

This is me in 1986. Riding a toy bike. With a bucket on my head. It's a brilliant picture. So, clearly I was cooler and smarter when I was three... And I'm sure that's not surprising to anyone... but I think it's lovely. It's my fathers doing, the bucket. And any other day of the week I'd probably try to make him feel bad for lobbing a bucket on his three year old son's head... but then I remembered that we share the same knuckle-head sense of humour and that it was hilarious. So I sent the pic to my other hilarious acquintance (Fatty) and she gave me a good piece of advice. As I'm in the middle of working on my new album (I know you all can't wait for it (*shifts smile upward in delusion)) ... she suggested that it should be the cover to my next album. I agreed immediately... I'm still shaping up the set list and need to make the principal recordings on about half still, but the title has already been decided: "Confidence/Coincidence". I don't know entirely what that phrase means yet, but:

I think me and my bucket fit it's theme perfectly.
