BO!!!!! - May 17, 2007 Prayers go out to Bo Diddley. The legend recently suffered a stroke and is hospitalized. I hope He can stick around a while longer 'cause the world aint thru listening to him live! Musicane, (a link to the store is here on the "links" page), is re-vamping its site today. Check it soon for these updates. If I hear correct, it should be open to all visitors to purchase music and vids there now instead of members only. Kudos go to DEREK SIVERS, mastermind of CDBABY, and HOSTBABY. Thanks for this site! I also want to direct the reader to the June 2007 issue of RECORDING magazine. Page 61 is where the TAXI A & R INSIDER was run. DEREK, TONY VAN VEEN (DISC MAKERS), STEVE CORN (BIG FISH MEDIA), and MICHAEL COLLEDGE (MERRILL LYNCH), all had a discussion on the independent music industry. This is part 2 and sadly my first issue of RECORDING magazine. This is a must read as is the entire mag for the business enthusiast as well as the recording artist. Today, I must add, we have to be the best we can at both! On RECORDING, I am floored by the amount of helpful info packed into these 96 pages! It's all written very well and as this is a MICROPHONES issue, it could not have landed in my hands at a better time. It's not often I get a mag and want back issues before I even get thru the one in hand! There are a lot of things on my plate right now, but I will endeavor to keep you up to date. The new material is still coming out like playing ping-pong with sledghammers! STAY TUNED!!!! Loud-proud YEAH!!!!! GREAT SESSION!!! - May 14, 2007 "DEATH ANGEL" has been re-done and turned out to be a far more energetic piece! Jesse DeLaO wrote a great tune to begin with and now the two of us have kicked it up a notch! Look for it on his next release! Indaba music is a new site that's a boon for high-speed accessed artist who want to collaborate. I'm not able to take full advantage of the site but I do urge those who can to do so. Check the links page here. LOUD-N-PROUD!!!! Working the weekend off!!!! - May 11, 2007 I'll be in the A.O.G. MEDIA studio this weekend laying down the guitar leads on "DEATH ANGEL". Jesse is re-doing the tune and this session will likely be video taped! Have a great weekend! Tell a Friend! LOUD-N-PROUD!!! Happy Mothers Day Mom!!!
