John Lennon Birthday Tribute! Please SHARE the love!

Clearly, John Lennon was (and is) my most influential artist.  I spent my childhood mesmerized by him and my adulthood studying his artistry in song structure.  This recording is the result of deconstructing Dear Prudence with Walter Watson.   All of the tracks are performed solely by the two of us.  Walter did an amazing job on all of the vocal parts.  I handled all of the bass and guitar duties. Man....did we have a good time in the studio!   Thank you, John and Happy Birthday! 

Happy Birthday, Sir Paul McCartney!

Experiencing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show changed my life and an entire generation of musicians were born.  Their influence was immediate and long lasting.  This recording of PAPERBACK WRITER is a tribute created by myself on guitar and bass with Walter Watson adding all the vocal tracks and drums.  Photograph includes my personal collection of Beatle dolls and 1966 Epiphone Casino.  Long live the Beatles!

Most of you know that I am a Beatle collector and I went so far as to record this tribute using my 1966 Epiphone Casino for rhythm work and 1965 Gibson SG for the lead and my vintage Hofner Beatle Bass!   I had a blast recording this!  

Jessica and I having a blast attending the Paul McCartney concert!  One of the best shows ever!
