A Sunny Morning, c/o Mars
Mars went direct on my birthday last week. I love this time of year. Clocks move forward, days grow longer, and it’s time to transition from review and reflection to action.
That set-up is a hint that I am currently seeking new projects. Need music for your picture? Are you a documentarian in need of a drone? I can provide music and sonic atmospheres for your film, trailer, industrial, etc. Need blistering ad copy? Everything you always wanted to know about my corporate career can be found at Linked In. I’m currently writing a longer work of fiction, but I’m open to the right opportunity.
And because truth is stranger than the aforementioned… while waiting to board a recent flight at Newark NJ, a gentleman in his early sixties—picture Wilfred Brimley if you will— took note of my guitar, approached me and politely asked if my name Leslie West. I’m not sure I convinced him that I was not, in fact, Leslie West. As much as dig Leslie (I saw West, Bruce and Laing twice in 73/74!) I am mystified how anyone might confuse the two of us.
Moving on, then… The amazing Mike Keneally ripped my head off (again) at The Baked Potato in Studio City last night. MK keeps getting better with every performance, and the Keneally Band has never sounded so together and fluid. MooseMart is your Keneally shopping source.
Mad Rhino Mailing list. Leading the charge of indie music since Leslie West was widely recognized in airports nationwide, Rhino Records Claremont is the best reason I can think of to drive out to the distant edges of the Inland Empire. I’ve been invited to participate at an in-store performance at Rhino sometime in May, date tba. Sign up for their free newsletter and you’ll know the details asap.
Mozza2Go. If there is better take out pizza in all of Los Angeles, I want to know about it. Yes, it’s pricey, but you get what you pay for. Melrose near Highland. Praise the Lord and pass the sottocenere al tartufo.
My sincere thanks again to everyone who has written in about Adamantine. And thanks for your patience while I familiarize myself with the Word Press application.
And finally: over the last several weeks, I’ve been contributing to the new album from Ollin (the band based in Poland, not East L.A.) That album should be available for free download later this week, so I invite you to check back here for the link. I had a lot of fun working on it, particularly since it gave me an opportunity to learn how to record using Logic. More soon.

Einmal was Anderes. Nur weiter so.
Hi, My understanding of German is scant, so I asked a friend who is fluent in the language. Below is what we think you are saying… can you comment further, and let us know if our interpretation is accurate? Thank you.
Einmal usually means “once” as in “once upon a time.”
Was I think in this case, is contraction for etwas which means “something…”
Anderes means different, other.
So,
Einmal, was anderes (why the capitalization, I don’t know) could mean “For once something really different”
but it could also be “Long ago, things were otherwise” possibly.
Nur weiter so.
Nur means only
Weiter means further usually.
So means so or as…
So, “Only more so.”
Once things were different. Only more so. OR “For once something really different–really far out!”
