9/9/06 One of my private students, Christy Glenn, is on the cover of BassGirls.com this month, in which she writes a good article.
I just recorded two songs "Uncle Ned"(sample found here -unfortunately the bass is almost completely buried in the mix) and "Sitting By the Pool" for Mountain Of Power, at Big Swede Studios. Also performing on the album is Marten Andersson - bass (Lizzy Borden, G. Lynch), Anders Johansson - drums (Hammerfall, Y. Malmsteen), Jonas Hansson - guitar (Silver Mountain, Legacy), Micke Nord - vocals, Tommy Denander - guitar and many more...
The last two shows at The Baked Potato, Hollywood and The Alamo, Newbury Park with Greg Marra (and Ethan Bjork on Drums) were a blast. Here's some video clips of the show at the legendary Baked Potato. Enjoy !
I've recorded 3 songs so far with Secret Beauty Cream for the next album and they sound amazing !
7/31/06 Bleed vocalist Robin McAuley is the new singer for Survivor. Congratulations to Robin and Survivor! Don't worry, this shouldn't interfere with us finishing up the Bleed debut album.
I'm extremely sorry to say that my great friend Don Lemmon suddenly left us in a car accident on June 11th. May he rest in peace. He has left me and others many happy, funny and loving memories. He only got to be 37 years old, but lived his life to the fullest. I met Don in '99 when he was looking for a bass teacher. We became really close friends. We both also got to be part of the band White Diamond, which had a movie in the works. Don was one of the most intelligent and effective people I've ever known. He worked very hard, and had incredible expertise in Exercise & Nutrition. Do yourself and his family a huge favor and honor him by visiting his website at: http://www.DonLemmon.com !
I'll miss you, Man !
5/11/06 I will be playing with KRIYA at The Summer Meltdown Festival in Santa Clarita, CA this Saturday (May 13th) at 7.30pm. Headliner this year is FishBone. This should be a fun show. On drums is the amazing Mike Taylor.
