I put out the word to our extended friends and family that I am running a holiday special. eh-em! By the way... I am running a holiday special, $50 gets you a disc full of digital fun. Matt and Heather jumped at the chance to let me shutter bug.... they were scared so they jumped! Matt is a Sci-fi nut and computer wiz, Heather is an aspiring writer and can get us a discount at Best Buy! They are very imaginative and animated! We had a fun shoot. I must say I was hoping they would show up dressed as Henry the eighth and Cleopatra but they were in a conservative mood due to a long work schedule in retail hell. Thanks Matt and Heather! I hope you enjoy the pics and have a wonderful holiday!

little help from my friends

It's almost Grand Opening time for "The Recording Studio". "The Recording Studio" is the name of my new studio on main street. Yes, I decided to go with a name that was hyper conceptual and obscure. Now I humbly call on the talents of my friends and family... Lend me your advice and perspective regarding my new T-shirt design. Have a look at some of my design concepts and let me know what you think!

Les Paul Fetish

There is no substitute for a Gibson Les Paul Standard! A Les paul custom, classic or studio will simply not do. Here is a shot of my two lp standards. The black is a '98 and the Honey Burst is a 2001. They are not vintage but they still do it for me. The black has PRS Dragon 1 pick-ups. I like the dragon 1's but I would trade them for a set of PAF pro's in a heart beat. The honey burst has Alnico 498 and 490T's. I dig these pickups! They are not as hot as the burst bucker pros that come with the new lp's but I like the tone better. There is nothing like a Les Paul through a Marshall JCM 900 on eleven. I am a Rocker at heart!

I don't want to work, I just want to bang on the drums all day!

I wish I would have started playing drums at age 4... but I didn't. I started playing drums in 1987. I was a freshman in high school. Do the math, I am old... but I look young... right??? :) I wish I would have played on the drum-line in School, but I didn't want to be called a "band-fag". Instead they called me a "Skater-fag".

Here is a shot of the Iso-room at my studio. I can and will play at all hours of the day and night. My Wife has endless grace... after all Grace is her middle name.

Gear junkie?

I have lots of gear... maybe too much gear. I decided that I need to spend more time practicing and less time searching for gear. Sorry ebay, sorry craigs list, forgive me pawn shops and yard sales... we're now on a break. BTW, anybody know where I can score a TR-808?
