Shilling my swag and thanks..
Happy new year y'all!
Its been awhile. been busy as I am sure all of you are.
I just wanted to say thanks for being friends and supporting my old ass and I wanna thanks the Ball family for always going WAY beyond what they have to do and making the finest guitars and Basses out there. The passion that flows from the family makes me humble and also blessed.
I had dinner with Al Kooper, yeah THAT Al kooper and David Anderle, legendary producer and VP of A+M records and really helped me when I was a teenager starting out a s a session guy. We laughed HARD over the old fun years when people played all together in a room until we got take and how much fun the late 70's and early 80's were. Al played organ on Like a Rolling Stone. , the Stones, He produced Free Bird and Sweet home Alabama to name a few.. , The tubes, founded Blood Sweat and tears, Blues Project .. I could go on an on. He hired me when I was 20-21 .. We laughed hard and had a great time and the stories. He was the MD at the Monterey Pop festival. The stories there are deep. Get his book if ya wanna know what it was like to play with Dylan and Hendrix the Stones etc..
Google David Anderle and his cred is very very deep! We had dinner at he Rainbow, of ALL places. It was a 6pm.. **** I used to go to bed at that time. hahaha
Unreal.
I am writing MY book this year, It will be full of laughs and all the cool sessions I was on and the stories behind them. I figure I should do this before I forget them all. haha
Hope you all are having a GREAT new year and hope to see some of you at NAMM and or on the road somewhere. Thanks for the great vibe and internet friendships and thanks s to Biff and family for being MY family and for making, what I think. are the finest instruments out there with love and soul !!
See ya on the back 9 or at the 19th hole. hahaha
