Another tune From my upcoming album "Guitararino". This ones called "The Ballad of Myles Connor" a little rockabilly stomp. Written and produced by Barry Marshall. Drums: Mike Levesque Bass: Sean McLaughlin Guitars: Tony Savarino recorded by Al Shapiro and Steph Durwin mixed by Peter O Peloquin Who is Myles Connor? Myles Connor: rock star, con man, art thief & native son March 18, 2009 Many may be aware of the heist at the Isabella Stuart Art museum; but fewer may be aware of the role a one time Milton resident may or may not have had in the affair. So here on this 9th anniversary of the largest art theft in U. S.history, is a brief profile of Myles Connor, one time Milton resident, who told Time Magazine in 1997 that, “I know emphatically and beyond any doubt” who stole the art. Myles Conner His father was a Milton cop. One of his brothers was also a cop and another a priest. Myles was neither. He was a rock guitarist with “Myles and the Wild Ones.” He also became a con man and art thief. The band was relatively successful. They played the Beachcomber over in Marina Bay and opened for Sha Na Na. Mr. Connor’s first art theft took place here in Milton. In 1966 he robbed the Forbes House Museum, wounding a state trooper in the process. He was arrested, convicted, served time and was paroled in 1972.

Scarce - Obviously Midnight (1995 UK CD release)

Mentioning the release-version is significant simply because the earlier UK release featured Mike Levesque on drums and the 1996 US release was a complete re-recording with Joe Propatier in that role.  I still don't know if re-recording the entire album after Chick Graning had his near-fatal aneurysm was an artistic one due to the line-up change (given that Graning had to learn to talk and move from scratch again, let alone play and sing), or if the tapes were lost.

This version of this song is perhaps perfect.

Well, in honor of not doing my homework I posted some videos from the 3/15 show at The Red Palace in DC. "Wake Up" is one of my favorites on An Unwavering Band of Light. Crazy that it was only two weeks ago, seems like ONE MILLION YEARS.

I also put up "Pirates" and "Already Gone" and oh my god I miss being on tour so much.
