We began recording the first Beauty & Disturbance Orchestra record on March 1st 2010.
Back in on the 15th for more work before I fly out to North Carolina and pick up the bus with Tommy Hambridge rolling with George T. & Destroyers for a few dates.

Back to the BDO record. Engineering and co producing is our friend and fellow musician, Billy Carl Mancini.

Updates will be forthcoming.

WBCN goes off the air in August. I haven't gone near that end of the dial in decades, but at one time....

This was the station where I first heard Dr. John, Blue Cheer, The Velvet Underground, Zappa, Doo Wop and Coltrane's Love Supreme.

Charles, Mississippi, Sam Kopper, Little Walter and later Maxanne!!!
Sometimes we'd hook school and go on over to watch them after they had moved to the Pru. Max was the Queen. She turned me on to Big Star, Rock n Roll Love Letter [the original by Tim Moore], New York Dolls and so much more.

Late one night, I think it was December 1970, I heard John Lennon sing the word 'fuck' on the radio. That was a big deal! That was the revolution, baby. Now it's boring.

Another December night I had heard that John Lennon was shot and killed. What to do? Where to go? What happened?? Is it true???
I called the station from the phone booth in front of Jonathan Swifts and Oedi, who was doing a show then, told me that it was indeed true. "Do you want to come up?" "Yes. I'd like to be where the music is..."
The rest of that long, long night my friend and band mate Steve Gilligan and I sat in the studio listening, numb, getting records out of the library [records are made of vinyl and smell good] and talking, talking, talking. It was light out when we left 'BCN.

There was a time in the 70's & early 80's where your band could make a TAPE and get it on the radio. We made many of them and they ALL got played in heavy rotation. As did our records. Ken Shelton most championed our band.
It was long ago when the world was different.

Thanks for the ride "BCN

Ever been phoned in Upton Mass. for being a lucky nice guy?

URBAN CARAVAN

Hearing all the Caravan voices on "Sunday House" & "The Man With The Sun For A Head" was truly bellissimo!!

Everyone performed great per usual. It is quite the 'ear buffet'.

Thank you to Ruby Bird [melodica] & Clara Kebabian [violin] for joining me on "Starboy".

Hey Everybody,

Lot's happening in 2009. I spent most of January on the road, or better put, the ocean. Two cruises. Simple Man Cruise with Skynyrd & Delbert McClinton's Sandy Beaches Cruise 15 playing guitar with my good friend Tom Hambridge & The Rattlesnakes. Tom is up for a Grammy again this year for Buddy Guy's Skin Deep record of which he wrote, produced and played drums on. Go Tom!

I've got a co-write with Tom on his new record, "Boogie Man". Track 3 titled "Corn Dog" Another song about chickens...
