PRESS, DARLING: Thanks to Jace Media, DMME, and Exclusive Magazine for shining a light on the "Calm Before The Storm" EP I released back in July. I never take press attention for granted, and as someone who used to write CD reviews for Bass Player Magazine, I'm grateful to those taking the time to listen and share thoughts on the music in our strange corner of the world. (More info on "Calm Before The Storm" is available on my Bandcamp page, in case you have no idea what I'm talking about!)Update on my new solo album in progress: 2 song demos down, #3 in progress, 6 in total to go. ...

8 YEARS AGO TODAY: I was hiking near Saddleback Mountain in Agua Dulce, CA, as I did often back then, and the sky turned crazy. I pointed and shot with an iPhone 6s, in totally normal mode. I've taken a lot of hiking pictures and gotten some cool shots, but nothing before or since has ever looked quite like this. I went back a few times years later, and the single yucca pointing up on the right side was gone. Maybe a storm took it out. Who knows. ... See MoreSee Less

RIP 📸GLEN LA FERMAN: Back in June of 2012 I did a double photo shoot with the legendary Glen La Ferman. I had no idea he'd shot the most famous people in the world (go to Glen LaFerman Photography dot com and you'll see what I mean). That day his assignment was to shoot me for Bass Player Magazine, and he treated me like a rock star, even though I wasn't one!We had to get two shots. One for the magazine cover, and another for Gallien-Krueger's full back page ad. We got both and then some, and I'll post some extras here. But somehow we both came up with the idea of paying homage to the famous Johnny Cash middle finger photo at the same time. Evidence shown here.He was a legend and made me feel like a legend. RIP Glen. ... See MoreSee Less

THE SMELL OF PEOPLE NOT LISTENING: This is not a bass solo by an emerging artist named The Vagabond Prince. This is a perfume/cologne/??? called Bass Solo by a company called The Vagabond Prince. What should the advert tagline be? My headline is utterly surpassable. Thread winner will be chosen by end of day Los Angeles time. (Hat tip: you know who you are.) ... See MoreSee Less
