ROCCO'S BLOG 4/28/08

The gods are curious things, they bless and curse everything. I’m spending my days and nights in East Los Angeles walking from the studio to the market. It’s nice to be outside around the magic hour when everything feels like itself. I ran into old friends tonight and we talked as they lit cigarettes and watched the cars climb the streets. We talked about family, friends, who are doing what to who, architecture of the city and of coarse the unavoidable mother subject that’s on lips of almost every Angelino, 'music.' I told them about the songs I had recorded and I started to get excited as I continued to explain the way in which I documented sounds. My friends started to share in this excitement and they decided I should put together some photos and let people 'in' on what’s going, so I did.

So, Monday night if anyone goes to roccodeluca.com, one can get a bit of a vibe of how we have been spending our time. I will add more photos and footage as the weeks follow, but I wanted get something started. The record will be released in the fall. Until then I’ll be playing and walking around Silver Lake, while playing spot dates across the country with Sheryl Crow and other recording artists. Thanks for everyone’s patience and kind words. See you around!
