The Ditch in the Delta . . . MY RUST!
Base guitarist, my son, Elliot Taylor Secrist, or ET, whom I just talked to yesterday, thrills me in more than one way. First, is his life long persuit of music, in spite of the challenges, both he and his bands have suffered, from death to theft, and experimenting with all genres of music, from jazz, blues, R & B, to metal, western rock, emo, hard rock, and it sounds like back to metal! and as a music major at the University of Utah, continually improving on his music and trying new techniques, styles, and rythmes. And second, and every bit as fun and important to me, is, that every once in away, he revelations, information to me, that stuff I had a hand in exposing him to as a child, comes out in his adult years, like gardening, or making him work in the garden, pulling weeds, on and off, comes back, like a garden, 100 fold in harvest! I was so happy, talking to El, yesterday, to hear that he and Lauren have a garden. He said they had a bare spot in their back yard, or at the house they rent in Salt Lake City, Utah, and they decided to rip it up and grow a garden! He knew that gardening is the number one hobby in the world, and he was already getting the joy of his first garden, and told me his tomatoes were already getting ripe, and he seem excited abou that . . . he is a very healthy eater, has been vegetarian off and on, more on that off . . . but, judging on the fact that he has beefed up a bit, I believe, he got his blood lust back, and is indulging in meat again, those steroids! The way I look at it, is that people are living longer now than every, even with all the junk food we all eat, super sizing meals, at fast foods, so?
Anyway, The Ditch in the Delta, MY RUST . . . already has about 2, 500,000 hits, and I was surprised to see how many shows are booked, and amazingly all over Colorado . . . Denver!, The Ditch in the Delta is coming to the Mutiny Information Cafe, Friday 26, 2014, in Denver. Grand Junction, it pays to house Elliot's mother, for a few days . . . also coming to Grand Junction Function! Check out the bands, home page, and you will see where the concerts are being held, and how to get tickets. Elliot, loves to play at small venues, so book your tickets early . . . he thinks it is selling out, to play at larger venues, or at least that is the way he used to be, perhpas he has changed, now that he has student loans to pay off! Anyway, Elliot is implementing some of the new music skills, theory, and technique that he is learning at the U of U, and said the music is more sophisticated!
This is smart music, smart lyrics, and it takes a while to dig to the bottom of the depths of the music, but, it keeps on giving and giving, and the longer I listen to the music, even if at first, this old rocker, has to struggle to change music venues, to get it, there is always a huge music entertainment payoff, going through the process of the growth, getting a more trained ear. And I would assume, that cousin, Craig Secrist, or maybe not, there wree some credits, on the home page, but I did see Charles Bogus, high bias cassette tape and Skylar Chubak, did the lettering . . . a great look, and the art work, on El's CD's are always, awesome. This CD cover has kind of an Asian/Oriental look with three aging monks. Does that mean the band members, maybe three, are getting old? LOL! Hey, you don't know old yet . . . and neither do I, for that matter, with three grandparents living into their mid to high 90's, even at 60, I am a youngster, and son, you are still a baby at 32 years old!
There are a Bunch of Concerts Scheduled . . . If You Want One in Your Area, Book on Home Page--GET THEM NOW!
Elliot told me that so far the music reviews have been favorable, so I am going to get off now and go read them! Thanks for supporting this band . . . the history, of some of the band members, is not only tragic, but criminal.
