This self titled album was created with a lot of talent. One of the Rhythm Priest's own projects that performed one show prior to going our own ways. Michael and Paul left the project to form Unique Drive to follow their intended vision of delivering music with a positive message.

The Viva Santana tour brought together most of the original members of the Santana Band. I was honored to work with this project supporting Alfonso Johnson and Greg Rollie touring setup.

This project also played in Leon Mexico to a massive crowd at the Leon soccer stadium. Additionally some incredible venues across the United Status.

This was a short lived project who made it's debut opening for Run DMS at the Oakland Coliseum.  Their set was 45 minutes and working with this group was a pleasure. An incredible lineup.

What can we say about The Tubes? Most of the original members doing a follow up tour at venues across the US.  Bill Spooner was not on this tour, but it was great to work with such nice guys.

I took care of Kevin's backline and guitars for many studio projects. Additional, working with him with many projects doing endless shows. Kevin is a motor city guitar player, the real deal. He can make music with water. So much talent and diversity. Truly family oriented to the point where he would look at me and I would know what he needed.

Studio with Kevin Russell

Working with Slick was an experience never to be forgotten. The arsenal of guitars between him and Kevin was an experience that was so beneficial. Musically, you can not ask for any other combination of true musicianship.

Working with Ronnie is another one of those experiences where musicianship was not lacking.  We toured with Alan Holdsworth which featured the Wackerman brothers, Vinnie Caliuto, and other legends.  This was one tour working with some legends of the industry.

Working for Kelly Keagy on this tour gave me some good insight on being a technician/drummer. Kelly is a consistent and solid drummer. Great bunch of guys...

David was one of my first gigs when returning to the bay area after years of working out side of the local San Francisco scene. David is the most solid drummer I have been honored to meet. Our friendship grew close as we have a lot of background together. Roadrunner was a great band to work with. Really drove home the glam era for me. After roadrunner, we work together on many of his projects where I would take care of his huge drum rig. Today, we are still great friends.

These guys were absolutely fabulous to work with. They took care of me and respected how hard we worked on every single show. Most of them retired now, I still keep touch with Jeff and Mike. Awesome and care people with hearts of gold.

Mary was paramount to my guitar tech days. She spend time with me understanding some of the modern guitar technologies. We worked together for years always making sure her rig and guitars were all ready for studio and live shows. Her and Dave (roadrunner) and I eventually became roommates for a while while we were all going through some life changes. Mary and David are married with 2 incredible adult children. This family and I go WAAAAAY back. Love them....

Josh picked me up as his guitar guy back in the 80s when I was leading and training crew with my good friends Ed and Michael (RIP). Like all other musicians I worked with, I took good care of Josh and he was always kind with me. We have a great time on stages...

Buddy was one unique guy. Depending on the project, he would play anything from drums to guitar. I learned a lot about working with left handed musicians with this project. Studio and Live gigs were a treat. A true legend.

Bill started many projects after leaving The Tubes. One in particular was called CHUD. There I worked backline for a few shows. Great times for sure.

I was brought into this project when Pia hired a bunch of locals in Marin county, such as Kevin Russell, Bobby Gilles, Gigi Gonaway, Narada Michael Waldon. The main objective of this project was to prepare for a live performance on the Arsenio Hall show. A month of rehearsals and we did it.

Vain was another product of the glam era. They worked regularly on the local scene and eventually got their break into the international world. I worked with them locally and due to my schedule, could not continue on the larger scale tours. Again, a great bunch of guys playing great music.

This was a great gig. Some of the boys from the Pia Zadora gig when to work on a quick project with CC when we were on break from Pia. Truly a big man and a big heart.

Managed by the same management company as The Doobie Brothers and Night Ranger, we were brought in to work with Taxxi. A three piece core band with solid players and incredible writers.

I dont even remember the name of the album we were touring behind. We were on the road with Slayer and Venom. Great guys, but I have to admit that it was difficult. I am an old metal head, but this stuff was....... well, let's just say "Never Again"

Lots of shows and time in the studio. It was another one of those instances where I was very tight with the guitar players (Derek(RIP) Johnny and Brent) where some of the greatest to take care. Derik would turn to me and I knew what he needed. It was a sad day when I learn he passed away.

As our crew family was well know to build and take shows out, we again were brought in to do some great shows which led to a pretty decent tour. We even had a setup of Harley's and a Pit-bull on the road with us.

This was a short lived gig. Only a few shows as they needed a substitute for some San Francisco Bay Area shows. My ears were in heaven.

Backline

We were brought in to take care of Paul and his band during one of his post Jefferson Airplane projects. We did many shows together and played to very energetic audiences. He is surely very missed in the industry.
