Things have been non stop crazy at the Taylor household this past month.
My wife and I now have a little baby boy.

He is perfect! His birth went off without a hitch. His mother is recovering well and her and the baby were home after two days. It's been a magical time.
The day before the little guy was born, I was hanging out at the Stooges rehearsal for their big show honoring Ron Asheton at the Michigan Theater. I provided a guitar rig for my pal Deniz Tek, who sat in with the Stooges for part of the show.
Meeting James Williamson was really cool!
April 19th- After working all day and visiting the family at the hospital, I went to see the Stooges. It was epic, every Ann Arbor rocker's dream come true gig. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to actually have Ron there and I believe he was in a spiritual form. You should go read Jeremy Wheeler's awesome review of the show.
April 22- Friday after the show, I accomplished a major personal musical goal. After ten years of missed opportunities, I was finally able to have Deniz Tek to come into the studio and cut some lead guitar tracks on a Mazinga song.

We do plan on releasing it asap. As usual it comes down to money and time. When we get those two things together then the Mazinga album will be completed and released.
So that was April 2011.
Up next is May, and that means MOTOR CITY COMIC CON!
I can't wait.
