I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am the owner/operator of Salwender International, a company that specializes in professional guitar and bass gear. My company imports and partially manufactures these products. Part of my job is customer service to professional musicians from around the Globe. Some call this AR, others call it PR, I call it meeting and hanging out with friends. One of my goals is providing the correct gear for the individual artist, regardless whether it is one of my products or not. I am fortunate in that I am able to network with competing companies without envy or agenda. My products can be found on the worlds most famous stages, with some of the worlds most influential bands. I am quite proud and feel very lucky to be trusted and called upon by some of the sphere's greatest bands, artists, producers and retailers. I love my job..... I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Family and friends, people, music, killer guitar tone, tight music productions, vintage Airstream trailers, palm trees, Baja California, BMW and Ducati motorcycles, vintage Mercedes, 50's architecture, interior design, of course travel and adventure, the Ocean, and about a million other things.

I'd like to meet:

Johnny Depp, Sting, Michael Schumacher, Lee Iacocca, Joseph Eichler, and so many more....

Music:

All my customers productions!!, and then whatever the mood requires, perhaps some classical, opera, jazz vocals, fusion, metal, whatever is well done. Lately I have been drawn to trios with guitar, bass and drums. I don't like poorly produced music for the most part. It has to be a really great composition for me to like it if it is not produced properly. A poor production is like a faded painting, or one with dull colors.

Movies:

Baghdad Cafe, What's killing Gilbert Grape, Star Wars, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Godfather, and about one half of the Netflix offerings......

Television:

Very little, but l do like MTV-HD, Mojo, Law&Order, The Closer, House. I catch an episode every now and then.

Books:

I read fiction novels, such as the ones by Simmel, Jonathan Kellerman and Sidney Sheldon. Sometimes also Günter Grass, Stephen King, John Clancy, Henning Mankell, John Grisham, etc.
