Barsh's Rhyming Report Dec. '07

Welcome, everybody, to the Barsh Report
It's a periodic rhyming e-newlsetter of sort
Letting you know what i'm upto, without being too serious
And its currently 2:30 am so dont blame me if i seem delirious

First off, the Barsh Report's most delicious cherry
My new record, I Forgot What You Taught Me" is done, and will be out in February!

It features a collection of hott jams, vibe tracks, and soulful hits
And how can you go wrong with song titles such as Jew Hefner and T.I.T.S.?

(for some crazy photoshoot outtakes check out myspace.com/sambarsh ; audio previews will up soon!)

Its definitely cold outside, which is kind of a bummer
So what do we do when its freezing out? reminisce about the summer!
I got to tour with some bands i hadn't toured with before
Trombonist Sarah Morrow for a week in France, the Brand New Heavies for a little more
J Records phenom Emily King hit me up to do some hits at the last minute
And I was free and down, so I jumped up in it!

I also did some clinics with Zach Brock in Kentucky and Ohio
And ate some chili along the way at famed Skyline
And thanks to a good look by Adam Hertz
The Sam Barsh Band did our first show at The Ballroom called Highline!

Such a dope place, beautiful space, fans right in your face
If you havent seen a show there, you're a cultural discgrace

(not really, but you should check it out, a well-needed and fresh addition to the NYC music scene www.highlineballroom.com )


So that was the summer; and once the autumn came
It became time for me to step up my cyber-game.
I have a brand new website (the address is still the same - sambarsh.com or barshmusic.com)
But the content's new and fresh, in fact the opposite of lame
And all you need to get to it is just to type my name (followed by .com of course)

(shout to my mama/designer for the hard work on the graphic design www.irisb.com)

Well the most exciting news of all is saved for last
My band is back after a break, and really k icking a$$$$$$$$$$$$
We did a show at Haverford College back on the 1st of december
And rocked for 3 hours straight; the next day i felt sorer than a New York Giants practice-squad member
I'm not sure if sorer is a word, but like i said its late and im feeling a bit absurd
(shout out to the haverford peeps that just joined the email list!)


And finally, it's finally here:
The Barsh Band's first NYC show in months , and the last of the year!

Saturday nite, December 29th, just 2 weeks away
Sandwiched right between Xmas eve and New Year's Day
So come start your nite right and catch us play!

It's at the Bitter End on Bleecker st., an early show,
So you can still party after, or go play in the snow
I'll rewrite all the info below.

Thats all for now, but its really been a pleasure
Till the next time, don't freeze or work too hard, enjoy your leisure!

Love to you all,
--
Sam
