Band Website: This is it!
Band Members: Your's truly. That said, I had invaluable assistance in the creation of my latest CD "My Therapist's Couch". Featured are friends (and Mike McDonald bandmates for many years) Bernie Chiaravalle, George Perilli and Tollak (electric guitar, drums, and keys) longtime LA "jazzbro's" Bob Sheppard, Mark Hatch and Jim Fox (sax, flugel horn and nylon string guitar) and percussionist Bryan Brock. Also singing beautifully are two of Nashville's finest singer/songwriters, Diana DeWitt, and Mark Stacy (who also played guitars of all kinds, was the resident techno wiz, and co piloted the project.) Rounding out the line up and mixing it all together beautifully was Nashville studio/audio ace, John Albani.
Each person brought their unique brand of "therapy" to the "Couch" sessions. I am humbled and honored by their contributions to this project and luckier still, to call them my friends! PS: A special "shout out" to Hank Linderman for the loan of his 12 string electrics and for longtime friendship and support!
Influences: Too numerous and wonderful to mention them all. I would have to say just about anything I have ever heard musically, regardless of genre, has had some influence, (the good & bad news) and of course, everyone I have ever worked with has influenced me to some degree.
Musically I love it all, from the Beatles to Miles, from classical to country, etc. The ultimate, however, I think is to reach a point where one's own heart, mind, and sonic sensabilities, become the primary influence in one's own creative endeavors. Wow... Deep... LOL!
