HACIENDA BRIDGE ... a newsletter about Bobuck and Hardy Fox
OCTOBER 2016
Bobuck's next project will be released on Hallow's Eve, also known as Halloween. It will be a Bobuck Trick or Treat package of 13 Tiny Tunes, called: BLACK TAR.
It will be available as a download on Bandcamp October 31.
It will be free.
With previous free songs, many people seem to wish to donate a bit of money because money always helps to pay bills and things. That sentiment is appreciated.
This time we are doing something different. If anyone donates money, Bobuck and I will match it with an equal amount and send the money to a local charity we support, Food for Thought. Halloween is a season of giving.
Food for Thought feeds 275 local shut-ins daily... people who, due to their age or illness, cannot go out to buy food. That could be any of us someday.
So if, for instance, someone donates $5 for the 13 Tiny Tunes, Bobuck and I will also donate $5, and all $10 will help feed our fellow human beings. Bobuck also reminded me to say that donating is not a requirement.
However, I am going to ask for your email address as we are building the mailing list for this monthly newsletter. We don't sell, abuse, or misuse the information.

Yep, that's me exiting The Cryptic Corporation
Considering all the activity with Hacienda Bridge and Bobuck, the announcement that I am leaving The Cryptic Corporation should not come as a surprise. The Residents intellectual property I controlled will now belong to others.
Tiny bit sad, but it opens up so many new possibilities that I am mostly excited.

The big release right now is Bobuck's take on compositions he wrote for The Residents over the last 40 years. For recent Residents tours (Talking Light - The Wonder of Weird - Shadowland) Bobuck had written new arrangements of old songs to suit the band. Here he does the same thing only for his own taste. The result is quite different. Rave reviews are rolling in. If you haven't checked it out, do so soon. You'll be surprised.
TOOK news
TOOK is a concept from Klanggalerie, Bobuck, and HardyFox to produce limited edition CDs utilizing aspect of other projects we do. An example would be music from iBooks. It will also cover CD releases of titles previously only available as downloads, and rereleases of classic Bobuck titles.
TOOK #1 and 2 (The Swords of Slidell and Later Tonight) sold out quickly so we will be moving into #3. While there are multiple original projects being developed, TOOK #3 is not new. It is Bobuck's MISSING SOLDIERS. Formerly only available as a download, it will be leased as a TOOK edition of 300 CDs in December.
A related project at Klanggalerie
A reissue of the Delta Nudes CD came out in September. It collects early material by Bobuck and other (pre-)Residents. A large number of people participated in these loose recordings and some of them later became referred to as The Residents, others didn’t.
Pick it up now.
