I am working each week on mixing for the Cell series. A new episode is due each Monday so that keeps me on my toes. Also I have been mixing some trailers for Brian. Looks like he has a good film coming that I will talk more about later. And I also did a quick Foley job for a nice short film called "Return Address". The work on the film that I did turned out nice and the director seemed pleased. I hope to have more information and links to the film soon.
I will also be starting on another Foley job next week as well as working on a book and another episode of Cell.
Now I am going to embarrass myself with a joke. This was sent to me by a friend of mine and I thought it so funny that I had to share. It is of course a drummer joke. The real funny part though is the picture following the joke. It is clearly time that I stay away from Ebay.
In the summer of 1969, a mail sorter at a New York post office received a letter addressed "To The Greatest Drummer in the World." There was no address or return address and the sorter wasn't sure what to do.
Fortunately, there was a former drummer who worked the front counter of the Post Office who promptly found Max Roach's address and forwarded the letter. Max Roach received the letter and said, "Oh no, I'm not the greatest drummer in the world." Max then promptly forwarded the letter to Gene Krupa, who said "Somebody must've made a mistake." Gene then forwarded the letter on to Buddy Rich (known for his incredible ego and abuse of his band members for every little mistake they made).
Of course, Buddy had been waiting his entire life for that moment. He read the words "To The Greatest Drummer in the World" and smiled from ear-to-ear as he ripped open the envelope.
He began to read the letter, "Dear Ringo...."
