Marston Smith Electric Cellist

Yep I have it all figured out.  I read somewhere that the European solar cell manufacturers

funded the Global Warming studies and it is all a hoax to up their sales. Therefore I decided to open up the

Malibu Mountain Ice Age Survival Gear Outlet Store.  I carry -40 degree boots, jackets,

and idorade dog sleds and for the “Oh Crap” scenario I have M256 machine guns,

nuclear radiation masks and 5th generation night vision goggles.(Also a wide selection of 17th Century

Italian cellos for you to practice on cold winter nights)

Marston Smith Electric Cellist

There is a new corporate and public  conservatism that effects the arts in this difficult economy.

No more suits for me….that’s no more suits of gothic armor but regular suits.

For Xmas parties, corporate events and weddings, the recent request are for me to wear black.

 

Finally got a new camera~Canon 550d or t2i

Marston Smith with Unique cello…a violincello da amor

My Violincello d’amore has 12 strings.  5 to bow and 7 to vibrate sympathetically.

My armor is Italian Gothic.

 

Just recorded a jingle for the iPhone 4 at Warner Brothers.

Funny thing was that the studio musicians are required to park across the street from the studio in a parking structure.   The trouble was I do not trust my 911 to get me there from Malibu and also my face would just get sun burnt so I drove the gig mobile…..the 11ft tall Dodge Sprinter Van.  This is my dream vehicle…made by mercedes benz with dual turbo, and dual rear tires…and black….windows too!   Well it does not fit in the parking structure and so I drove on the Warner Brothers lot to the dismay of security……I sure hope they have me back for future recordings.   This is a huge problem when I gig in Vegas, San Fran, San Diego because I can’t park in the hotel or convention’s parking structure but only in loading docks or find an open air lot down the street….

Playboy Mansion gig for Mopars–what a blast

Ξ November 20th, 2009 | → 0 Comments | ∇ misc |

 

 

so the
gig tonight is Katy Perry’s Bday party…I don’t think I better give
out the theme(probably a surprize)…Last Saturday the Playboy Mansion gig for Mopars was a
blast…300 beautiful (and scantily clad) girls and 300 old hot rod
collectors and builders. MiniMe
is some babe magnet but the girls all posed for photos with me
too…Hey maybe someone will send me some photos and I will post. Hef
didn’t come out while I was there(probably hates posing for photos) and
of course some girls got naked in the pool. I think next time I will
perform in the Grotto with them(”of course I will keep my armour on….never take it off…

why I would be vulnerable”…so spoke The Grand Manipulator

So I blessed the sea thrice and my mount and I walked on water. 

The first time my electric cello was heard in the jungle. Nosara, located in the North Pacific near Playa Guiones is the site for this concert. Costa Rica is beautiful along with the people and I am thinking of living there but I worry that my armor will rust.
