Sat, 17 Apr 2010 05:00:00 +0000

The Texas Music Festible in San Angelo Tx. Was
The LoneStar Music Fest, a fun and great event I performed
at in September last fall to bring in the school year
and was an absolute gas.I neglected to share it as I wasn't
paying attention like usual but here are some photos.

I was performing with my buddy Jeremiah Houston
and we also stopped in Luchenbach Texas On the way
where I also filmed some funny video with a rooster
singing backups!Some of the other groups performing
at The Lonestar Festival was Keith O'Tool,

Micky and the Motorcars,Bart Crow Band,and Stoney LaRue.
It was a terrific Texas Music Festible with a few thousand
spectators!

Where Is Dubai

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 19:05:00 +0000

Where Is Dubai some may ask as I did before I went there
to perform for our troops!Dubai is in the country of
United Arab Emirates or UAE for short.

It's at the bottom of the Persian gulf
and we entertained the navy and marines mostly
that came off a navy carrier in Dubai at the
USO installation.I had a blast and being on tour
with our military was one of the highlights
of my music career because other wise
I would of never had a reason to go that area.

Besides our troops are the best and need not only
our support but some good ole down home American entertainment.

Male Country Singers and Texas Country Music!

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 01:04:00 +0000

Last night my gig was in Wimberley,Texas
at the Hills Edge Pub and grille.
With one of the Male Country Singers
and Texas Country Music venues from that area!

A.J.Downing,his wife Carrie,and myself
did a trio there last night and had a real good time.
There's was only a few folks there and its a small
place but we had fun and enjoyed making music.

Hills Edge Pub and grille itself has several
rooms and is a very typical quaint rustic place.
But the bar room is smaller.

Doug Mooreland was up the road at Luchenbach,Tx.
So that probably didn't help us much,
but the bartender said they had a packed house
the night before,
with some other Male Country Singers
and more Texas Country music!

AJ and I have a new record being released on
Americana radio worldwide this month
called "Way Back Home"
From A.J.Downing and The Buick6.

Here's a video to one of the songs!

Michael Jacksons Female Guitarist

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:47:00 +0000

Orianthi,Michael Jacksons female guitarist of late is soaring
high in the media these days especially on the web!
She is definitely a smoking rock guitarist,
and at her young age even more so.

Orianthi Panagaris, is a also a big Steve Vai fan,
and has been opening up for him as she also has her own records out now.
Her first support show was for Steve Vai at age 15.
I admire not only her guitar skills but
the fact that she's making a pretty big splash
in the music business.

I was a big Van Halen fan in the 80's and my band
covered a lot of there songs,
so of coarse we ended up doing Beat It as well
I would like to give a plug for another guitarist who new
Michael Jackson songs lists, and was in Michael Jackson video
clips,Jennifer Batten in case you all forgot
who paved the way for Orianthi!
Originally Michael Jacksons female guitarist.

I became acquainted with her in Portland,Or.
,at a club I used to play there
and come to find out she owned a home in that neighborhood.
Jennifer Batten -
Michael Jackson's guitarist for 3 World Tours
including a half-time performance which aired to
a record 1.5 billion viewers in 80 nations.
Later she became Jeff Becks guitarist as well.

Have you ever heard of Michael Jacksons chimp bubbles?
During the 80s Michael was known for having a pet chimpanzee
called "bubbles".
Bubbles became as much a part of Michaels persona
as the glove and the moonwalk.
Bubbles was given full access to the Neverland ranch,
he was even allowed to use Michael Jacksons
own private bathroom.

I wonder if Orianthi or Jennifer was treated that well.
Anyways they can sure both play the hell out of the guitar!
At 24 years old,
Orianthi has already experienced what most aspiring musicians
only dream of.
She's opened for her hero (Steve Vai),
backed an Idol (Carrie Underwood),
traded solos with a legend (Carlos Santana)
and shared the stage with the King of Pop (Michael Jackson).

Michael Jacksons female guitarist at the end was,
Orianthi Panagaris (born January 22, 1985)
in Adelaide, South Australia, of Greek descent.
Orianthi has played with Prince,
made a video clip for Panasonic HD,
had a song featured in Bratz:
The Movie, played at the Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival,
appeared in The New York Times business section
promoting Eco-friendly acoustic guitars.

Give Me Guitar and Give me Some More Guitar...

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:39:00 +0000

Born In Connecticut
and raised in California,
from about 8 years old
after traveling the world
with the U.S.Navy!

My parents were also musicians,
When moving back to the US
from places
like Spain and Scotland
We landed in Stockton,Ca.

I was in the 3rd grade and already trying to play my dads guitar.
In the 5th grade I got to use one of my dads acoustics
and began my journey!
I have been playing guitar and performing ever since,
I was hired by my parents to play in there group at age 14
and can truly say guitar was my first love.

I was weened on classic country but quickly found my own way
to pop radio.
Eventually as a I started meeting other musicians
and usually older than me,
because I was performing professionally as a teenager,
I was turned on to some great guitarists!

Johnny Winters,Tommy Bolin,Jeff Beck,Eric Clapton,
Duane Allman,Jimmy Page,Carlos Santana,BB King,
Paco De Lucia,etc.
An so began my true musical journeys!
Like many I have loved and appreciated it all.

I have continued to love all good guitar music from
all styles and from all over the world,
maybe not as much popular music now days but you bet I try
to pay attention once in a while as a musician and songwriter.
I love rock,blues,traditional and popular,roots
how about that Stevie Ray Vaughn?
Jazz,Country,Flamenco,New Age,Latin and Cultural,Classical.

I love talented musicians period,
what would we do without music?
Perfect example in the photo above I am jamming
with some college guys that were playing some traditional music
in the park in Mira Flores,Peru as my wife and daughter and I,
were walking by and they allowed me to jam with them!

Musicians and Groups-An Exciting Way To Travel The World!

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:28:00 +0000

I have been playing guitar since about the 4th grade
and my parents were musicians.
They were self taught as am I mostly
but have learned from many people in my life.
Including from them of course!

I had watched them entertain as country musicians
all my life growing up.

You see my dad is a retired chief petty officer from the U.S. Navy.
So not only did I travel the nation and the world
for the first ten years of my life,
but I was always watching and listening to them perform,
the band usually consist of all navy personnel
with the exception of my mom,
who happen to be from a large family of country musicians.

Now I am not trying to tell you to join the military
although most branches have units just for qualified Musicians.
The Air Force had a great pop band that I met when I was in the middle east
on tour with my guitar.But here is my point,
there are many opportunities for musicians and groups
as civilians to travel the world with the military,
and with a warm welcome providing your good at what you do.

I met and jammed with a really good jazz trio,
in the officers club at my last stop on the tour at the
us navy base in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
The drummer was from Australia the bassist from Canada
and the guitarist from the USA.

There are many avenues to search for these gigs
as there are private agencies as well as the military.
Now that we’re in the information age as you know
you could go to google and start your search.
I was recently on a 25 day tour that took me through the middle east
and southwest Asia.

I left my home from Portland,Or.and headed straight for Germany
non-stop.Then of course on to southwest Asia to meet up with
the US Air Force where we no longer traveled commercially
and it became a truly life changing experience for me!
When we were done with our tour we then flew back home
on commercial air lines.

10- things you should know before you even start your search.

1. You must have a talented group or act that has gigged out more than 1 or 2 times!

2. You must have a professional promo package to send out!

3.Of course anybody traveling overseas needs a passport!

4.You will want to have professional dependable sound gear with hard cases!

5.You will have to be able to take time off from you day job if you have one!

6.Some tours may require immunization shots!

7.Most tours will pay any where from $75-$125 per day including rooms and most meals!

8.You can book tours directly through the specific military branches (not advised)

9.If you book a tour with the US Department of Defense (Air Force) you will get to see and do
some things that many of our troops have not even done or seen.

10.It will change your life and the way you see our military forever!(good stuff)

The first 2 places to look online when your ready is the AFE-Armed Forces Entertainment,
And of course the famous USO Tours! AFE pays less but they are US Department of Defense.

I seen classified stuff on my tour with them and even was able to take some pictures as well as
Being able to go in the cockpit with the pilots during flight and many other cool things!
