'goodbye' is a tune that has always calmed me. There are tunes I feel embarrassed about because there's a stigma to liking your own music. It's laughable in general public as a joke of loneliness. Sad world.

For the first time in my life. Long overdue. I’m officially won for Best Blues Single of the Year at the 2017 Banks Radio Australia Indie Music Awards. Special thanks to God, my family, my friends, Isaac Banks and especially; THE FANS! So, here’s to you!

As a professionla enameled wire manufacturer, xinyu-enameledwire.com offer Enameled Aluminum Wire with high quality. here you will konw some advantages of enameled aluminum wire and advantages of xinyu enameled aluminum wire. One of the primary properties that make Enamelled Aluminium Wire desirable for wide applications is the thin enameling insulation. Transformers, motors and generators are all machines based on the coil, which is a device that generates magnetic fields and electrical currents using large coils of wire. The smaller these devices are, the stronger they are.


Because Enameled Aluminum Magnet Wire and Enameled copper Magnet Wire is insulated by a thin coat of enamel instead other types of thicker insulation like paper, fibre glass, mica etc. As Enamel Aluminum Wire or Enamel Copper Wire takes up less space in coil formation so it makes more effective and compact coils with higher efficiency.
Compared with the copper enameled wire, Enamelled Wire is easier to winding, also there is a solid oxide film on the surface of enameled aluminum wire, which make it has a good insulating effect, a long life. Due to the good insulating effect of aluminum film layer, its heat-resistant temperature can be 20 degrees higher than the copper wire.
Enameled Aluminium Winding Wire and Enameled copper Winding wire are widely used in electric devices because of their conductivity. Aluminium Enameled Wire and Copper Enameled wire are meant to carry electrical currents. Specially, Enamel Copper Magnet Wire has less resistance than almost any other insulated wires. This means that generators using enamel copper wires will produce more electricity than generators using most other substances. Coils of Motors made of Enamel Copper Winding Wire will produce more motion. Transformers made of Enamel Aluminium Wire or Enamel Copper Wire will lose less energy.
The third feature of enameled copper wire / enamelled aluminum wire that make them so attractive for use in these devices is its resistance to corrosion. Enamelled Aluminum & Copper Magnet Wire is the material of choice for use in electrical circuits, as it lasts for a long time.
The mechanical, electrical and chemical characteristics of enamelled aluminum magnet wire differ from those of copper magnet wire because of the inherent differences in the conductor materials. These differences are reflected in certain test procedures and/or performance requirements for aluminum enameled magnet wire, such as elongation, adherence and flexibility, heat shock, scrape resistance, continuity and thermal endurance.
The advantage of aluminum enameled winding wire is light weight. This product is widely used in electrical tools, ballasts, automotive electronics, refrigerator and air conditioner compressor motors, television sets, electric stove, microwave ovens, various transformers, and other kinds of electronic coil motors, electrical appliances.
Enamelled Aluminium magnet wire is sometimes used for large transformers and motors, but because of its lower electrical conductivity, an aluminium enameled wire must have 1.6 times the cross sectional area as a copper wire to achieve comparable DC resistance. Smaller diameter magnet wire usually has a round cross section. Thicker Aluminum Magnet Wire is often square or rectangular (with rounded corners) to permit more efficient use of available winding space.
But enameled aluminum wire from xinyu-enameledwire has extra advantages:
Advantages Of Xinyu Enameled Aluminum Wire:
A) Stable quality, raw material will be strictly inspected before production.
B) The most competitive price for your market.
C) Professional technology support and timely after-sale service.
D) Free sample available for your test.

Anyone interested in doing a Same Song Title Madness? 

   So, Theatre of Life breaks up in 1978 or so as we are inches away from signing with a record label. Punk is coming like a tsunami and progressive rock is drowning, hell even Genesis had a top 10 pop song with Follow You, Follow Me. Oy Vey!
Looked like it was over so I sold the Roland Synth, the Farfisa, the Honner piano, the Leslie, and yes even the accordion;( damn, not the accordion!) Took the money and went back to school. I kept the Ovation and the Fender amp and played solo at pubs, cafes, taverns but it wasn't the same. I missed the keys, the 20 minute instrumentals And I just didn't like playing everyone else's top 40 songs. (Supers Ready just didn't work on an acoustic.)

   Well I graduated with an undergrad, then a masters, then a juris doctor, married (3 times), raised a family and worked my ass off. Once in a while I would pull the Ovation from the closet, string it and then OOUCH! (damn…no more calluses) back in the case it went. Life happened, fell off my garage roof while re-shingling it (yea I was a lawyer, but a damn cheap one. DIY Baby!) and broke my left hand and severed a tendon in my right hand ring finger. Well there goes ever playing keyboards again. So music seemed like a distant memory after that, and a painful regret. Why did I Stop? What if?
   Some 30 years later, after an entire lifetime of work, my failed practice everything came tumbling down. Lost my wife in a car crash during the time, then got sick. I couldn't practice law anymore, I couldn't do anything but lie in bed for over a year. Thanks to my new love of my life Lisa, I survived. But the whole time thinking about the days with Theatre of Life. The tours, the songwriting, the music.Oh the regrets. Why did I throw it all away? But in time I came to realize you don't throw it away, it morphs into something else. I was always known as a creative problem solver. Was that creativity the music in a business suit? Perhaps.

    Once back on my feet and nearly 60 (puck off you gorgeous 20 year olds, that's still young!)I didn't know what I was going to do. I got a job as an adjunct professor in a local community college teaching business law and found myself waking up daily with melodies in my head. The radio in my head that was always there during Theatre of Life, that was shut down for some 40 years was turned back on. I was dreaming music again! I pulled the Ovation back out, restrung it and began playing again. It took a while, I had to train my hands again especially the left hand that I broke, but it slowly came back. Yea, there's no way I can play a Steve Howe riff anymore, or a Tony Banks solo, but I could play again, and more importantly I was writing again. In the first 8 months songs have come pouring out.

    Now back in the 70's, you had to be discovered by a record label to have any opportunity of recording your music or having it heard. But over the past 40 years something wonderful has happened: home computing and the Internet! So on to ebay, buy a Behringer mixer, condenser mics, midi keys, glue foam panels everywhere in the spare bedroom (thanks for moving out son!) and record, damn I was recording! In May 2016 I completed my return EP of 7 songs and then 2 more singles shortly after. Yes the production value is wanting, I get it, but I'm doing it, nearly 40 years later I'm doing it.

   Unfortunately life has hit me fucking hard again recently and I have hardly been able to play or record for over 8 months now...ITS DAMN UNFAIR!!!!! But I'm not giving up, I know I'll be back ...I have to...I believe.....
