10-May 2026: More old pictures from my wayward youth. I believe this is 1989 at the River Theater in Guerneville, California. That fine Charvel that I’m playing actually belonged to Steve Ivy, the bassist in the background of the 1st picture. I loved that guitar. Steve wouldn’t sell it and I don’t blame him.
12-May 2024: I was able to transfer a very old demo piece, circa 1996, from a decaying cassette tape to MP3. The title of this is “Emillo”, named after a character in a movie. Its a heavier instrumental indicative of my Rock and Roll days of youth. The quality is rough. This was recorded on an old Fostex 4 track recorder. The “master tape” is long gone as is the recorder. Items used to record this include an Ibanez Destroyer guitar, Digitech RP multi-effects board, an Alesis drum machine….and the rest escapes my memory.
28-March 2024: I received a request for access to my very first commercially released work, “Overview of Water” which was part of the Dark Duck Records compilation “Ambient Landscapes 2”, released in 2000. Here’s a free MP3 file of the piece. If you want the full compilation, click the link above. I hope you enjoy. Cheers.
