<p>&#39;My Dash Between the Numbers&#39; became a work in progress in 2006. After opening up my own recording studio in May 2004, I decided it was time to finally release a CD.&nbsp; I originally opened up my own music school (<a href="http://www.sischoolofrock.com/">www.SISchoolofRock.com</a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;I then combined and incorporated&nbsp;recording (on PC&#39;s) to the music lessons.&nbsp; After seeing the school do well I figured I would open a recording studio (<a href="http://www.sorstudios.com/">www.SORStudios.com</a&gt to interact with the lessons.&nbsp; Watching this new generation of kids play and record got me thinking it was time to do this again.&nbsp; After over 20 years as a musician/guitar player, I had resolved to doing it part time. With a family to support, I knew it was time to get a dental plan. Although retired from wanting to be a &#39;Rockstar&#39;, I continued to play for hours a day. Opening up the music school and recording studio kept me in the game.&nbsp; Having taught for a good part of my life, I opened the school and studio up to have my own students teach and run the place.&nbsp; This also gave me the flexability to go in and use the recording studio anytime I wanted.&nbsp; Here came the idea to do my first CD.</p><p>Within a year I finished up the CD and figured I may as well give it away. I know hundreds of people who thought they&#39;d sell a thousand CD&#39;s, to have only sold a handfull.&nbsp;I&nbsp;couldn&#39;t think of a better way to get my&nbsp;music out there.&nbsp; This album was purely done for the love of playing. No other intentions. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The recording: My Bass player is Adam Reich. He was one of my students. He came to me at 10 years old, and has grown up to be quite the&nbsp;musician. He also helped engineer the CD too. Rob Racalbuto plays drums on the CD. Rob and I grew up together in Brooklyn. He is considered one of the best. All of the music was recorded at <a href="http://www.sorstudios.com/">www.SORStudios.com</a>.&nbsp; We use SONAR software to record everything at SOR Studios. On the guitar end, I use Paul Reed Smith guitars, with Soldano SLO amplifiers. The guitars are mic&#39;d with Royer ribbon MIC&#39;s. You CANNOT beat a Royer Ribbon MIC. As I was told by a guy at Sweetwater Music, you don&#39;t use a Soldano and PRS guitar and MIC it with a shure 57! He was completely right.&nbsp; I also use Manley Preamps. The warm tone of the Manley Pre&#39;s are very hard to beat! For Mixing, I have an old buddy of mine, Dave Saronson do my mixing. Dave does all the famous people. For more info on Dave (<a href="http://www.luvthenoiz.com/">www.luvthenoiz.com</a>). Dave &#39;knows&#39; my tone.&nbsp; He knows it so well that if he feels it is not on, he&#39;ll tell me! I love that about him.</p><p>If you&#39;d like any more info on Mike: <a href="http://www.grandeland.com/">www.GrandeLand.com</a> </p>

<p>Hey Guys and Gals,</p><p>As you probably know I have just registered to this site and am hoping it helps boost the number of people listening to my music. I had 3 songs uploaded but do to policy one (Boss DJ Cover, original by Sublime) had to be pulled do to policy. So for the moment I have a live radio Demo of Father Time and the original Lights Out recording. I have more on the way but will need some time to rerecord the songs. If you would like to hear Boss DJ or more Demos, please visit <a href="http://www.myspace.com/angelicrock">www.myspace.com/angelicrock</a></p><p>Thanks guys,</p><p>Aaron Johnson</p>

<p>Hello everyone,</p><p>&nbsp;I have uploaded the latest version of &quot;I Know She Understands&quot; which has recently been re-mastered thanks to Eric Smith of ERock Remastering (<a href="http://www.erockremastering.com/">http://www.erockremastering.com/</a>). </p><p><a href="/the_london_project/audio.php">http://www.imusicscene.com/the_london_project/audio.php</a></p><p>Cheers,</p><p>Lonnie</p>

<p>Hey all, I hope everyone had a great long weekend. For me, it gave me a chance to start finalizing our new track &quot;Leaving the Past Behind&quot;. This song was written about my daughter Chelsea&#39;s high school graduation this past year.</p><p>I still haven&#39;t figured out how to embed the player into a post like this so in the meantime you will have to visit our song page on our site.</p><p>Cheers, Lonnie</p><p>PS - the mix is still a little rough but the polish will&nbsp;be done&nbsp;shortly.</p>

<p>Hi all!</p><p>Just a heads up we are working on our video section.&nbsp; Right now I do not like the way it is setup so that will be changing shortly. Shredchris was kind enough to get us started with some Guitar Instruction Video. Thanks for helping us out there! </p><p>Under the Explore menu you will see Our Channels. There is iMusicScene TV - Guitar Instruction. Currently there are two videos in there. What I do not like is right now it is in a loop and you are not able to choose the one you want to watch. That is what I will be changing soon. You can however see the videos split up by going here.</p><p>For those that are too lazy to click the link in the menu, click the play link here.</p><p>Thanks again to ShredChris! </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>I was told about this place, they have a decent player for embedding into other sites and all that. Figured I&#39;d put the band on up here and see what happens.</p><p>So far I&#39;m impressed with the whole thing. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Great Job!&nbsp;</p>
