Well - I can't avoid it anymore - the time has finally come for me to write a newsletter. I guess I'm supposed to give you a little insight into what makes Peter Tucker tick. Some of you know that my other main interest in life besides music is astronomy. I worked for the Astronomical Society of the Pacific for 15 years. I mostly ran the mail order catalog but did get to do some actual science. I co-authored a planetarium show script, have done meteor shower counts and collected data for the A.A.V.S.O (American Association of Variable Star Observers). My real love is observation with telescopes and binoculars. If you can get away from the bay area light pollution on a clear moonless night it's amazing what you can see with even a modest size telescope.
The band has been on a short hiatus while Travis works as music director for the original stage version of "Lost Highway" - the story of Hank Williams. Travis played the lead role a couple of times in the past (I even got to be the drummer in one show) - but he has since "grown out" of the role (if you know what i mean). The bass player has a key role in the story so they ended up hiring a professional actor to play the part. The only problem is he can't play the bass - so Travis has had to teach him every song by rote by making a bunch of marks on the side of the neck.
The good news is the rest of the band has been working on some great new material, Chris has a few more and Henry and Glenn are working on a couple of instrumentals. The other news is that "Cowards Game" had dropped to around #250 on Neil Young's anti-war website but recently resurged to #94! Keep those votes coming!
