Today we have a nice mellow track from Sean Hayes, an NYC-born, North Carolina-bred musician who grew up studying theatre before he turned to playing guitar — sounds a lot like how I got started playing music (except without the New York City or North Carolina parts).
While I don’t think “Smoking Signals” is particularly about the herb, if you take a look at the cover art for the album, you know, you just know, that some kind of mind-altering substance was used in its making.
Plus, if he’s an actor and a musician … let’s face it, there’s no way that guy hasn’t smoked weed before.
It makes me think, though … what kind of smoking signals are there?I can only think of three: the peace sign, the wave of your hand as you’re coughing up a lung from the last bong hit, and the pinched forefinger and thumb gesture you make when you want to make sure that your friend doesn’t bogart the joint going around the room.
But I am naive on such matters, of course.
You can, as always, check out more of Sean Hayes’s music on his myspace page or through his website.
