The extra guitars heard on the recording of Not About A Girl were performed by Corey Blanchette.  He is credited on the physical CD, but a lot of the electronic material does not mention Corey's work on the EP.  In addition to electric guitar Corey also sang some backup vocals for the song.  Corey performed the Trombone at the end of Old Man Crazy on Stars & Garters.  He is an excellent musician and provides valued contributions.  

Lisa, our famously cheerful and limber bassist, will be participating in Boston Band Crush's second annual One Night Band this Saturday, August 21st at the Middle East Downstairs.  Last year's One Night Band landed Chris in the much lauded Peppermint Patties.  Tune in this Saturday to see what Lisa has in store.  A little one-ups-manship perhaps? 

In anticipation of One Night Band Boston Band Crush's CD DiGuardia reviews the song Love and Fear in his feature CD on Songs.   Check it out here -
