Shameless Self-Promotion
The last two months of 2007 were spent putting together a CD of live performances, taken from various shows I and a good number of friends played at the Monterey General Store, in Monterey, Massachusetts. Ten original songs - seven of mine, two from Kathy Reichert (who also contributes two lead vocal performances - taken from a show she performed there in October) and one from local Berkshire singer/songwriter John Roche - grace the disc.
A wonderful group of friends - Kathy, Karen Berger (piano), Greg Nease (guitar), Jim Martin, Helena Bouchez, Will Curtiss (all on bass), Anne O’Neil (percussion) and Joel Schick (harmonica) - all perform on the CD and I truly wish that I was in a position to have put some covers on this disc as well. You’d have been simply stunned by some of Nick Torres’ renditions of songs like Pocahontas, Babylon, and Georgia on my Mind, not to mention some wild (and fun!) group arrangements of Eurotrash Girl, Spooky, Fire and Ophelia.
For more information on the CD (song listing, musician credits, etc.,) and also for information on how to order it, just go to the Songs & Sandwiches page, located at my website, www.davidhodge.com.
You can also hear unmastered versions of three songs from this CD (Man in Black Blues, Margaret Has a Lover and Saturn’s Moons) at my Soundclick page.
As always, thanks for listening and thank you for your support.
Now, back to the important stuff!
Peace

Nothin’ wrong with shameless self-promotion. I often tell people, when they ask what I do in my band, that I’m the singer and shameless self-promoting whore of the band.
