This is a link to my cover band.  We do Classic Rock and R&B!



Here I am with my "washboard abs" at the Jolly Inn in Houma LA. This place rocks and it has authentic cajun food and music!  Check it out!

The next few pictures below are from the last two LA NAMM Shows.


Here I am with Johnny "Spazz" Hatton, bass player for the Brian Setzer Orchestra. He plays the best, the mighty "King" double bass. We played some swing blues and some Elvis tunes at the "King" bass booth.  
Click the pic for a look.


Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats showed up and played some tasteful guitar!


Leland Sklar came over to say hello. What a great guy! His favorite non-music pastime is gardening. He has played with everyone who's anyone since 1970.


Thomas Vincent "TV" Jones is just a great human being and makes superb guitars and pickups. Here we are together at the 2006 NAMM show.


Here I am with Mike Lewis, President of Manufacturing for Gretsch guitars in January 2006 at the NAMM show. I'm holding a Black Phoenix.


Here I am with Adrian Belew. Adrian is known as the "Twang Bar King" and is a member of King Crimson. He also in "The Bears" a band I like a lot.


At NAMM I hear, "Hey Elvis!" It's Gene Simmons shooting his reality TV show. He called me over for a chat. I surprised him with my story of coming "Back from the great beyond." The production folks said it might be on in August on the Arts and Entertainment Channel.

I met up with John Hiatt recently at the Crest Theater in Sacramento. His solo shows are like a revival meeting. The man is an absolute genius as a song writer. He wrote "Riding with the King" sung by Eric Clapton and BB King.

Here I am with Steve Landes of the Beatles Tribute Band "Rain" Steve and the other boys do an incredible job of recreating the music and excitement that was the fab four. Check out their site by clicking on the picture.

Check out this link to El Dorado Guitar Straps like the one I have for my custom built '62 Strat replica. Bill Silverman is the proprietor of this top flight company that makes the best straps available anywhere!

Click above for your portal to Martin Guitars. I picked up one of these Mark Knopfler signature models and it's the best acoustic I've ever owned. It even has a label signed by Mark along with a laser cut Masiakasaurus Knopfleri Dinosaur on the inside neck block!


I have this pretty cool Victoria Vintage 35310 amp which is kept in impecable condition by none other than Skip Simmons. Skip is the king of tube amp repairmen.  He is the only tube amp technician I trust with my precious gear. He can actually improve the sound of even a new "Vintage Reissue" tube amp. For you recording geeks, check out his super retro modified PA heads!

Stay tuned for more updates
and facinatin' links to come!
