DE LIVE & IN COLOR

A long time involved in the music business and I remain active to this day.  Fortunately I can play and perform a bit but unfortunately a composer, song writer, lyrisist I am not.  I'm OK at the A&R thing so I just admire and marvel over those of you gifted with he ability to write the stuff. Music has been good to me and I have kept in perspective as the years have past and the opportunities for the younger and more gifted are no longer within my grasp.  I do a lot of fun work with a World Class group of musicians and vocalists that tolerate my playing abilities.  For the past 15 years I have developed playing techniques to accomadate the use of guitar synth's {It's not so easy playing horns and strings and things when you think like a guitar player}.    Keep in mind the recordings are all live with mistakes and flubbs included.  We do not use sequencers every thing you hear is played by a person in real time.  Although we do the copy things we make every tune we do our own from an A&R point of view.   I don't have enough or adequate words for the encouragement to all of you out there that make your own music so please allow me to just tip my hat in appreciation.
