Well what an incredible start to an amazing September .. now for what may seem like a long winded post but I'll make this short :) . lol .. as the sound tech at The Kings Head Eatery & Music Room I get the pleasure to work with so many talented and gifted Musicians !!!! there is never a show when magic happens that i don't get goose bumps and Not shy to admit tears in my eyes when it happens. My goal as the house Engineer is to make the talent on the stage comfortable and put them in a pocket where they can bring to life the music they play. If the talent is comfortable the magic will and dose happen !!! the next goal is to bring that forth to the Audience. It becomes easy to do so if the talent is comfy on stage, I'm very humbled by all the complements and respect The bands have for me as I do for them. I'm well a Bit of a softy when it comes to emotions But !!!!! I will say this ,Every single day I work as how is another moment we will never forget .. I want to say thanks to all the Musicians and send my love and respect to all . So to close What this month will bring is beyond fun it's so incredible so much to see and hear and dance to and ya Very cool Schedule . Go to the web site trust me this month is just the start of what will be even bigger and better ... Love you all And Happy pride to all.

Saturday of last I had a blast , today Mr Timothy J came by my studio to meet a talented young man and short visit Martin rep Tim is :) but wow so cool Mr Awab Paracha look out Samuel John Coulson he is back in June :)
I so lucky to be able to connect talent with talent .. I have not felt this posative in a long time . The music industry is rebounding lead by the old troopers but the young are grasping it and working at it, there is new life new original music not driven by the arrhythmical algorithm ,,,, these young folks are writing there own and independent and not driven by the big corporations that are dictating , ya I know how it works but dam I love the fact that there is an answer other than the dictators of the industry ...

While i write this I'm listing to Yani but not something you can find on you tube this was very early years before he broke huge .. and yes 3 studio albums prior to his big break out .there !!!! you all learned something to day :) lol .. love you all and remember this music heals all emotions and speaks the message of life and emotions so pick your music wisely it can evoke a huge range of emotions .. and is also the universal language ..... there is always an interpretation ...
