Uhm… There hasn’t been any. 🙁 But I have good reason. Work has kept me fairly busy. I had recorded bits and pieces of a few songs, but realized I was still a little lost on the new digital recording software I’m now using, Presonus’s Studio One. It’s not that different from the old tried […]
A list of the musicians who play on legendary artist Glen Campbell’s swan-song album “Ghost on the Canvass”. There are some stellar artists on this. I’ve bolded the ones that caught my eye. Without looking them up on-line, how many do you recognize right off the bat? * Glen Campbell – acoustic and electric guitar, […]
Last night, Acoustic Highway had one of the best gigs we’ve had in the four years we’ve been together. We played up in Oakhurst at the Sky Ranch resort for a Ren-fair. It’s not that the crowd was huge… It wasn’t. There were only about twenty people there. But we sounded GREAT! It wasn’t just […]
All who know me know that I love to muck around with audio, remixing and fine tuning stuff… Sonicfrog and all that… Duh!!!! Here is and example of a recent recording we did at Pete Wolf’s studio. The song, California Blue, sounds good in original form. But, me, being me, decided to see what I […]
On Bass… Here’s the list! Sultains Of Swing – Dire Straights I remember it sounded so easy, yet when I tried to play it, I just couldn’t get the timing right. Then, one day…. It just fell into place! That was the first song I knew I could play reasonably well. That was followed quickly […]
A couple of months ago, I started to mess around with a Jerry Rafferty song. Then he died. Last week-end, while fiddling with the guitar, I stumbled upon the chords to the beginning of “Sister Golden Hair”. I think I’d better put the guitar down before someone else gets hurt!!!!
Since I’ve been learning to play guitar, I have been promising everyone and their mothers dog that I was going to drag out my old lyric books and start recording some songs. I’ve been promising that for well over a year to my band-mates in both Acoustic Highway and Jim in Taylor Martin.. And to […]
You Scored as John Paul Jones You are Led Zeppelins John Paul Jones! You are very calm and often content. You are very skilled with many instruments and don’t mind to sit still while your buddys are running around and enjoying themselves, mind you that doesn’t stop you from being a big part of the […]
Some things come and go, some things stay the same. Here is what my bass stuff, Circa 2009 – 2010 looked like. The green Yamaha RBX750 is gone (bro-in-law now has it), and the red Peavey Dynabass 4 string is, unofficially, for sale for $200.
Here’s one for my friend and uke player Pieter Mordyk. He’s going to shit when he sees this!!!! I know of so many bass players who have also either taken up the mandolin, as I have, or the ukulele. What is it with bass players adopting tiny instruments anyway??? Stolen from yet another Bass blog.
