Summer 1992 (Some U2 Nobody Knows)

6/17/92
Frequent entries continue. Moodies were old guys, good lights. TWO songs published with Doug Millaway as Gare nervously preps his solo career just in case. Johnny brings Nickie Lickingham out with the Bosey twins for a return engagement. Les cranky about prspects of moving into barn. Gary ponts out central heating cooling advantages, free heat all summer, free air all winter. Unlimited restroom facilities. Goat pasture view. Ad nauseum. Oh, Practice. Gares guitar goes out, great, until he bangs on it. Les had double nec and paul and sans amp, writes up ship of fools and some U2 nobody knows. Nicky does strange Rhiannon, disjointed Way but smells OK so who cares. And she repays beerskis. Twins got cranky so they left. Stay tuned.

6/30/92
Over to bachelor Les to meet Ron and the band in a box after hearing of Johnny and Nickys surprise split. After getting past the bike in the kitchen, gala recording ensued as Diana tracks laid, is it 60s or whot. A bit of archeology reveals missing Snow Voices and Subway of Love master, leading to hasty remix for lyricizing. What next?

7/22/92
Out to belleview to see new mercedes or was it bmw or was it bentley. Finalized 4 track of Deanna, off to HRSC Vol 6, copy of Vol 5 delivered. Makng plans to record River of Life. Johnny had gig, now is trying to find new girlfriend every night.

Lunch with the Senders, still no ADAT.

7/29/92
The ADAT lands, and Gary worships it like the scarecrow in front of OZ. River of Life goes down, with biab playng his hard disk off. The sounds of silence ensue as hiss is just a pleasant memory. Remix picke dup middle of week as Les never gets off phone.

8/17/92
Slug boy resurfaces with new job, new number, new girl friend, old schict, or whatever. Gala digital recording continues, a rare beerless practice as Ernies Leaving Home, Bye Bye. Digitized Deeana finally goes down, though solos are not popping the particular eve. Gary forgets tomatoes.
