I’ve just started a new “presence” on Reverb. There’s a reason. I have quite a lot of gear, and now find myself needing to find new good homes for some of it. * There’s too much stuff here – more than I could ever use! *
What interesting times… if this isn’t a test of adaptability, what is? So many changes, so many challenges. We’ve all had to alter bits and pieces of our lives. I’ll share with you some of my own experience. Not being much of a gambling man (with the exception of my musical adventures), I’ve been keeping […]
A short while ago, this website was hacked (no real damage done, and no malware was permitted to be installed). Needless to say, this was not fun. In rectifying the various plug-ins, some of which were out-of-date, we lost a sidebar which directed visitors to various “categories” of posts. Until we can get this cleared […]
I’ve recently had the pleasure of producing a very talented singer-songwriter from Norway. In 2018 I found myself revisiting Fredrikstad – a beautiful part of Norway – cobbled streets, wooden buildings, warm hospitality, and a great state-of-the-art recording studio.

Jimmy and I first met in Lima Ohio, back in ”67, while he was touring with The Yardbirds and I was teaching and performing locally. We hit it off, and experienced copious laughter and grooves. A really cool bloke… (and thanks for the ‘grade’)
Here’s the story – Dillon’s father Robbie and I have been friends for over 40 years. But being an ocean apart for eons, I didn’t get to experience Dillon’s growth first hand. We began as Facebook friends, liking some of each others’ posts and doing a bit of online chat. Then Robbie messages me that […]
In 1979 , I began recording an album that I never released. It contained a few real gems. On a recent trip back to The States, I liberated a couple of 2″ tapes. This is one of the pieces from that album, lovingly brought back to life, and featuring some really outstanding talent. With Paul […]
I’m very pleased to present this one – featuring Blue Lou Marini and John Tropea. Two of my best buddies, musical collaborators, and giants in their own right. Have a click, enjoy the short piece of musical magic, and leave a comment if you’re so inclined. Sharing our fun with you here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=442TiowZVJU And a […]
Well, maybe three. I’m still putting one together “from scratch” – but more about that further down the page. In The Beginning… Roland’s sub-brand “Boss” pretty much had the market sewn up. As a consultant to Roland at the time, I was one of the first to enjoy it. Heck, I even remember doing an […]
An interesting one indeed. Edited down after a lengthy telephone interview conducted recently, I share a little insight into the “the state of play”, along with some very techie hints and tips. As always, I hope you enjoy… REELING THROUGH THE YEARS Please note: this is a PDF, and opens a new tab or window in […]
