The Life and Times of a Second Call Studio Musician Part 15

The year 1984 started out fairly slow for my session work. In my book I have a note that I did a Sheena Easton record with Greg Mathieson producing on February 21st. I didn’t recall what song it was so I contacted Greg and he couldn’t remember either but going…

The Life and Times of a Second Call Studio Musician Part 19

So here we are at the beginning of 1987. I’d finished up the the Fogerty tour in December of ’86. January, which is notoriously slow for session work, was REALLY slow! I did one recording session for David Fisher at Universal in all of January, two sessions in February and…

The Life and Times of a Second Call Studio Musician Part 38

Doing sessions in Los Angeles and Tyler TX from the time I left LA in 1996 until my last Tyler session in 2003 was a bit tricky. My studio gear which I left with my cartage guy Jim Williamson in LA was substantial and had to be trucked back and…
