A Family Affair

This is a great band I have the pleasure of playing with when in Germany. We call ourselves FAMILY AFFAIR BAND or FAB for short. Yeah, we are totally fab and we don't need much practice time and when we get together, we ROCK! I miss these folks and look forward to another meeting sometime before I'm too old to pick up a Strat.LOL!

4 Your Soul – Circus

As many of you know I moved recently to North Hollywood, CA. In that process, I’ve found a lot of digital content that’s been sitting on various hard drives the last few years. This is one of those Gems! It’s a short film I made about one of my favorite German bands I had the pleasure to work with at times over the last 14-15 years of messing around over there as a professional artist.

Introducing, “4 Your Soul”.

End Of Fiction | Stadelheim Prison Songs

Many years ago around this time of year I was sitting in a jail sell. I sat through my birthday, the holidays, new years and then some; 101 days, to be exact. It was a strange time and an even weirder experience. Nonetheless, I grew as a result and certainly got through it.

One of the things that kept my mind centered was my love and need for music. It was the first time in my limited musical lifetime that I wrote complete musical pieces purely in my head. With no instruments or writing tools to speak of, for a time I could only sing melodies and imagine where those chords were located on the guitar and then have to remember it. It would be quite some time later before I’d ever have a guitar in my hands again. No dictaphones, no cellphones, no tape machines. Prison sucks.

I’ve decided to share those crudely written and recorded works here, in a new series called “STADELHEIM PRISON SONGS.” It was behind the walls of Europe’s largest prison, which also held Adolf Hitler for a similar amount of time, that I wrote 21 songs about the life and energy of the day. First up, “End Of Fiction” which today holds a new meaning, one that I will try to capture in a new music video perhaps. Thanks for listening.

Aids Is A Mass Murderer Ad Campaign

I imagine these images were banned in most mainstream markets but perhaps I’m wrong. Since I have little interaction with the Mainstream, who am I to know. I’m just not cool anymore man! Anyway, these images hit home with my European heart so I thought I’d share them with the rest of yaw’ll.

The Beer Bike Rides On In Amsterdam – Amsterdam’d

Ah, good to see that good old European ‘for the people, by the people’ ideological way of being still full in effect. Recently the famous (and most original green technology transportation) multi-trike-like bike was rolling on thin ice after a whopping two accidents in the course of a month or so. That can happen if you’re peddling pissed.

Glad to see the city and the coolest way to spend a few hours seeing Amsterdam there is sorted out their row and are letting consenting adults take personal responsibility for their own public actions instead of allowing the actions of a few irresponsible adults define how things should be for the rest of us. Kudos A’dam!

Oktoberfest 2008 Flashback – Boob Quest

Look what I dug up. Pretty much by accident since trying to clear some hard drive space so that I can get some work done. Work?? What’s that? Yeah, yeah… whatever. Anyway, Oktoberfest 2009 begins in a matter of days so it seemed quite fitting to give y’all a glance at the world renown craziness since many of you have never been and many more never will. Here’s me and my pal Silke messin’ around just before we started our yearly tent-hopping tour! LOL!
