David
Castello Update: Bree is Killing It in the UK
and He is About to Release His First Novel
It's
been awhile
since I've updated you on the
adventures of David Castello who,
as many of you know, returned to his musical roots
in 2011 after blazing a trail
through the domain industry with his
brother Michael (also a
veteran musician) via Castello
Cities Internet Network.
While
Michael continues to run CCIN,
David turned his attention to
playing drums for Nashville
based rock trio bree - a
group named after Bree Castello, the
band's dynamic
singer/songwriter/guitarist who is
also David's wife (bassist Maryk
McNeely completes the powerful
line up). The band has spent much of
this year touring the UK
where their popularity is
surging.

England last month,
one of the major stops on their UK
Tour.
While
in the UK shooting also began on a new
documentary about Bree and
the band that is being directed by Gregg
Houston for Babysweet
Productions. The release date
for the full documentary has not
been set yet, but David sent me a
3-minute trailer for the production
that will give you some great
insight into what the band is all
about (click the Play button below):
While
being part of a hot rock trio
would be enough of a creative
outlet for most people, David
is not most people. He has
always had a scholar's
interest in World War II
history (and is, in fact,
an expert on that topic). So,
having just gotten back from
the band's latest swing
through the UK, he decided to
use the short break to publish
his first novel - The
Diary Of An Immortal.
David
expects to get the final cover
back this week, the last task
before publication. The 1920
photo at right is a rough mock
up of it that shows an
ancient medical school atop
Chakpori Hill in Lhasa,
Tibet that was destroyed by Chinese artillery in
1959. This location and
incident will be a primary
setting for the novel's
narrative. I'll let you know
when it has been released.
This
latest news reminds yet again
of how many highly creative
and talented people
we have in (or that have
passed through) our field.
They certainly help make it a
more interesting place to work
and play!
