DAY 15 - Met up with my buddy Tim this afternoon for surf and guitar. Yeah, we’re pretty big into the small-wave surfing scene. It’s gettin’ pretty popular I’d say. It’s pretty much the best sport ever. (Said in my best Kip Dynamite voice.)

We surfed until the wind blew out the remaining sun-drenched waves, then headed up to his studio to go over some charts I’d put together for the gig at Malloy’s next weekend. (See below)

Tim is one of the hardest working guitar players in the biz. He’s one of the few people I know who practices more than they preach. (Think about that… it’s deep.)

Tim’s got the inside scoop on the local musician scene (better than I), and when it comes to putting a band together, I trust his ear. He can pick apart a piece of music (i.e. a demo cd) and tell you whether the players were truly talented or just hacks. That saves a person a lot of time and energy hiring the wrong people for your band.

Most of my focus toward music has gone to writing and creating songs, not playing other people’s songs. I don’t have extensive gigging experience… yet. That’s where Tim really shines. Plus the kid can play. Really play. Just watch, you’ll see…

NEWS FLASH:

Patrick Malloy’s next Sunday, July 30 at 9:45p, Tim and I take the stage for the 1st annual Hermosa Beach Talent show. The act with the most applause at the end of the night wins everything: cash prizes, fame, forune. And you know I’m gonna share!We’re gonna rock hard with our acoustic guitars. Come see us?
