A look inside the world of Pat Monahan of the band Train

I have no idea what to write. I feel as if I’m late for an appointment and I don’t know what its for so I just keep hurrying in hopes that by the time I get there I’ll remember what the hell I’m there for.
Nothing yet…hmm…okay, I’ll ad lib cause that’s what I’m hoping to be someday, an ad lib master.
Uuuhh oh okay, here, I’m outside a grocery store with my sleeping 3 year old and Daryl Hall is on Sirius 2 Blend. I’ve been hoping to catch more Howard Stern but I’m not sure that Autumn would enjoy sleeping to incredible comedy without sensor. Okay, Howard’s on now. She seems to love it as much as I do.
This is some good parenting..I hope. I would have thanked my dad.
Other news, as if I’ve said anything worthy of being news, is that we will start to record our next record soon. So excited. We’ll work in LA, SF, Seattle and I’m trying to get a day or two in Hawaii or on the moon.
Also, we still plan on doing the listening party in SF for a couple hundred fans. I figure we should do a vote. You can’t vote for yourself or you won’t be invited. I thought YOU should be the ones to decide. You can vote for people and say why. Not yet, but in January probably.
Hope you like that idea.
We have some pretty good music right now too. I’m trying to hone in on how to complete the album vibe. Been listening to a lot of Van Morrison and The Band. Then I went through itunes to hear all the greatest songs ever, like Lover You Should’ve Come Over. Buckley is missed. Radio Head had some great songs back in their start. Fake Plastic Trees is wow. James Taylor. Carol King! She wrote a thousand hits.
Anyway, I’m eating more. Softening up for the big Thanksgiving feast. Oh yea, and I’m gonna take a lot of kid’s candy this Halloween too. I think I’m gonna be te new “Round Rocker”. We’ll see.
Miss you guys!
See some of you in Erie(may be my final show as a skinny).
Love, Pat
