Mike, I have also been a member of one of those organizations for over 33 years. In addition I have owned a small live performance spot in NYC for 15 years where I have been on the receiving end of extremely heavy handed shake down…

"I'm headed to Spotify as soon as I'm finished with this. I think of them (as well as Pandora and the rest) as a digital class-action suit against BMI, ASCAP and SESAC. And I think it's about time."What does this mean?

How do you control un-released music you have in your iTunes library? Demos, rough mixes, pre-release stuff? Would that stuff all be shared too?

Yep, I've had Norio working on my stuff since when he was up at Roger Sodowsky's shop. He's an ace.

Norio is an amazing craftsman and a true gentleman. He's done superb work on my '65 Hummingbird, Les Paul Deluxe, Precision Bass, and Fernandes Telecaster, and I'm not surprised at all by your comments. Hope you continue to…

Warning-Gearhead post (new pickups)

Norio at his shop w my Les Paul. I got my '06 Chambered R-8 Les Paul back from Norio Imai this friday. He had done a setup on the guitar and also installed a set of Peter Florence's Voodoo '59 pickups. I've been lusting after a set of these pickups for years but haven't had the right humbucker guitar to put them in. I had Norio use the Burstbucker covers 'cause they are already pretty…See More

Thanks Ed. I try. There's some horn tooting in some of my blogs 'cause I write about what I do/know. A couple have been pulled but that's ok with me. I like the site and will continue to share. Eric Ambel

Very MonsterTRUCK. They've always scared me. There's scary crash elements here near the beginning. then it slides into that sludge metal thing. I like the idea of doing it before recording someone else. Like mental-musical calisthenics or…

Gringoman

A while back I was asked to contribute some music for a film set in New York City. Of course there was no dough so I waited until the studio was set up for tracking during one of my producing clients sessions and came in there early with my engineer Timbo to give it a go Gringoman style.

A year at Gordy's Pier

I'm full of cliches.

One of which is "I've been everywhere twice".

Semi-true. The rock and roll has taken me all over the globe. Lucky for me

the second time I got a better look at things. The other half of my personally

Alex

I like to stop by the Lakeside on my bike late in the afternoon. More often than not I find our Soundguy Alex

Feldesman there opening up and getting things in order for the looming happy hours. My partner the Hound

Alex is no exception. All the staff iPod's are packed with cool stuff. Alex's rig usually has a particular slant.

He likes a lot of Richard Thompson,… Continue
