SEPTEMBER 29th SHOW
That’s right kids! Thursday September 29th will be a Camp Freddy show that is open to all. We will be playing at The Key Club in Hollywood, on the Sunset Strip. No ticket details as yet, but of course you will be the first to know. We were trying to do a couple of nights but schedules wouldn’t allow it, so this is it. But we promised that we would get a real show together and we delivered. The last show we did at The Key Club was fantastic – hopefully we can raise the bar and really get the place jumping. More details as we get them.
Today is a random Ozzfest day for me. I’m gonna jump the plane with Ozzy and go see the Phoenix show. And of course, I will be going on Saturday to the LA show – expect some mad phone ins from me during CFR this week!
So I have been neck deep in writing a set of songs with some friends, and I have been singing on them! We are not sure if we will take it to the next level, but the writing process has been fun. And singing lead vox on the tunes has been challenging and rewarding for me. At some point I can let you in on some details, but we are keeping it low key for now, and in the ‘fun’ category, which is nice. The moment it turns into business, it can get very stressful.
That’s kinda it for my week so far. I really have been just turning the phones off and making music. I did go out last night to the opening of Brent Bolthouses new club, LAX, and that was absolute f@#$ing mayhem!! He certainly knows how to put on a party, that guy. I mean EVERYONE turned out last night. Jessica Simpson (looking quite good right now), D12, - oh I cant be bothered to list em all!! By the time I left to go home, I think they were shooting each other to get in!! (NO – not literally!!) It was so crazy outside, it seemed like every clubber in LA was screaming and shouting, trying to get someones attention! Thank you to all at Bolthouse for a huge evening.
Let me see ….
Cori: Yes, Jen and I have hung out a few times now with the kids on Dave’s show and they are all amazing people. Its always fun. And by the way – RIP Jessica.
Jay: It is possible to do what you suggest – ie make your own record. But if they are not biting now, then there is a chance that you get stuck with an album that you cant release and cant support. But who knows ….oh yeah, and Tommy Goes To College ROCKS!!!
Simon: Welcome to our small but perfectly formed community! I hope you enjoy the read, and make a few new cyber pals in the process.
Ylais: Great idea! I used to like some Jam – not a huge fan, but I did have a few pairs of Kam shoes. Remember those two tone pointy shoes? I guess that’s where my shoe fetish started!! Yeah, we’d love to have those guys. Somebody make a call!!
That’s it – …..”Waiter?……More coffee for the poor tattooed guy in the corner!!”
Outta here – I’ll be back at the weeked. Peace and love to you all. Oh and by the way - I just found the pic of me singing with David Draiman from The Disturbed. Seems like there might be a caption or six for this one!! Whaddya think? Thanks to Wendy for the photos.

Billy, thanks for the introduction. Have a great time with Ozzy and I can't wait to here about it when you get back.

I'm sorry. I just can't come up with a funny caption. I'm mesmerised by the bare belly.
I think my eyes are actually spinning around like the snake in Jungle Book.
When I snap out of that, maybe my brain will start functioning on higher levels again.
Jesus Billy! I had those B&W shoes too. Those were some smart shoes. (amother pair that amused my American pals) I'm going to have to start admitteding to a shoe fetish aren't I? I had some winkle pickers back then too, black thigh-high lace up boots, white court shoes. What didn't I bloody have in shoe wear?!!! I've calmed down a little though, my feet can't take that abuse anymore.
More Ozzfest! The Osbournes must love you! :D Have a great time.

Billy,
I found your quote below extremely interesting,
"So I have been neck deep in writing a set of songs with some friends, and I have been singing on them!"
Let me be the first to start the speculation and whatnot.
As I recall, a certain Mr. Duffy was at your pad a few weeks back doing a bit of songwriting, right?
Feel free to confirm,
deny or take the 5th, but this seems like a helluva good match...
Thanks,
Jay
