Blessed Greetings all,

I am amazed at how far behind I am in everything these days especially my writin'.  Such is the cost I guess of the life threatening surgery  now two months passed upon an already wore out body.  Though the surgery was sucessful in it's primary purpose, it did however leave me with permanent nerve damage in my left leg and groin. This is quite a blow as it has forever ended any hopes of my returning to flatrack motorcycle racing, and at a time when I had been offered a sponsored return to the pro seniors national circuit.  This makes for just another sad day here at Mole Church as I still possess the  skills, drive, and guts (stupidity to some folks thinkin') that are  necesary to run 100mph on two wheels on dirt  horsetracks brakeless.  It is how I came up it would have been a satisfactory way for me to go out as well.

In the three weeks prior to my surgery, and knowing the risks of the  impending surgery, I basically locked myself into the recording studio on the average of 16 hrs a day and in that time period recorded 16 new songs for my first solo project  in over 30 years.

The project entitled "High Times and Low Livin' (lyrics to some of  the new songs can be found here on the blog) is basically the auto biography of my time here on earth, the good years and the horror years, all of it no punches pulled, no smoothin' over my rough edges, no hidin' anything from the way I grew up hard and fast, the failed marriages, the heroin years, findin'Jesus, and more than 30 years of activism for the Indian and Southron Causes all in the form of music. 

 The project is a mix of country, rock a billy, blues, Southern rock, and a touch of gospel as well. I wrote all the lyrics and music myself with the exception of one set of lyrics titled "Whiskeys Cheap" who wrote the lyrics about me, and I simply put the music to his lyrics.  It was the only song not written  and recorded before the surgery.

I am in the throws of mixing the project at this time. A slow and tedious process to say the least and one limited by the number of hours my doctor will allow me to stand and or sit.  Yes, I have mixed some of it standing, as sitting remains a real discomfort.  If I could mix it lying down I would ! lol lol.

To those here reading this that have  purchased my music previously, well, I hope you take a chance on this one.  I think it the best writing I have ever done and some of the best playin' I have done since before my strokes.  I did all the guitar parts, piano, Hammond B 3 organ parts, accordian, (yes I said accordian lol) bass, synthazied strings arrangement, and drum tracks as well.  I did all the lead and harmony vocals as well with the exeption of some female back up vocals provide by Pam and Barbara Ellen. Barbara also layed down some mandolin riffs for me , as I just cant get a handle on that instrument.  That's a shame too as I love how versatile that instrument is.

I have sent a rough  demo of the project to 3 record lables and have generated some interest from 2 of the 3.  The one lable found my stuff too politically incorrect for them to consider.  To me that is the ultimate complement.  The last thing  I would want (should God call me home) is for my music to be politically correct.........My life never was so, why would I wnat my legacy through my music to be?

If you have any interest in this project please feel free to email at tandpam@shawnee.net   or visit my website www.terrywarren.net

As always I personally answer all mail.

Well that's where things stand for now from Mole Church way behind enemy lines

Blessins' to all
