The story...
The song is actually about what happened with three girlfriends - they
are true stories.
I say girl number four hasn't yet walked through the door, but actually
I have found my gal.
She keeps bugging me to write a song about her, but I haven't managed
to do that yet.
You know what they say, once the honeymoon is over....

My first internet tune
Geez, if only I could read music, it
might be more rewarding. Geez, if I could only play the guitar with
the strings in the right place, and with the guitar right-side up.
I watched right-hand players play, so
I play the guitar backwards AND with the strings strung for a right-hand
player - and, I am really high strung!
But hey, I'm having fun. And
now I have my first tune on the internet - not the first tune I ever wrote,
but the first tune that I have written that is now on the internet, thanks
to my buddy Doug. He put it here for me: www.soundclick.com.
You can go there, then put
ken s lusk (case sensitive) in the search engine and it will bring
you to my page. Then click on Music. There isn't really any point
going there when you can check out the tunes right from this page.
I am by no stretch of the
imagination a professional,
so yes, you CAN try this at home.
A big thanks to Doug Frozel, John Cal and
Glenn Ayerst for their contributions to this song, and
for all their work in the past, present and future.
Recording the acoustic track for "I
don't want to lose you". Doug engineered a high-quality product
for me. Then he surprised me by making a 30-second film of me lipsynching
to the song - doing Milli Vanilli proud. The link to that clip is just
up and over to the left.
Doug has quite a lay-out in his basement - he even has a dog
laid out on the floor. It is a lot more fun than you may think. The only
downside is that this way of recording pretty well eliminates the need
for a drummer. To save time, we just use a pre-recorded drum track. The
upside to this is, you can go into the drum track on the recording program
and change anything you want - but it isn't like you are really drumming.
Let's go back in time...used to drum...
I don't know what it was about drumming...but I had to have
that set I saw for sale in a basement window. This was about 1975 when
I was about 14. I couldn't even play at first - for a couple of months
I just sat and stared at them, until I got up the nerve to try them.
It didn't take long for me to get the groove, and soon I was
jamming with the stereo to tunes like CCR's 'Proud Mary' and Abba's
'Waterloo'.
Fast forward about 10 years...
Here I am during the early '80s recording
the drums for a friend's tune at Cambrian College in Sudbury. It's hard
to believe it is only about 10 years after the previous photograph.
Playing with Nighthawk, Northland Hotel, Chelmsford,
'80s.
Add another 10 years...
This is at the Capreol Hotel, which doesn't exist anymore.
It burned several years ago, then was razed. But this is probably taken
during the mid-'90s. I went on stage with some friends and we played Purple's
'Perfect Strangers'.
This is not a look that you would normally associate with
a hard rock song, but I think I was just high on the song.
Then add a few more...
Jammin' with a buddy's band, doing Bad Company's "Can't
Get Enough of your Love".
This would have been during the late '90s at the Valley Inn in Azilda.
