~ ~ Latest Happenings ~

Welcome to the happenings page, where I like to post information on upcoming shows, news features, recording projects, jam sessions with other musicians, and any other stuff that's going on. Just finished laying some tracks for a couple of new tunes at a bangin' studio up in NEPA called Sound Investments.
The results are quite stunning, to be honest. Stay tuned...

I don't always get over here to update, so for those of you on the fast track, be sure to check out the FB Events Page for more information.

If you want to see a whole bunch of really cool music videos, check out my Youtube Site where you'll find not only some classic Indoe Loop, Joe Herbert and Friends, and The Mad Amalgamation, but tons of other stuff too. Some of my favorites range from early Bee Gees (You gotta watch their performance of 'I can't see nobody') to one of my new favorites - The Weepies. I also have a bunch of rare Dylan, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, plus some strange, weird and wonderful stuff including political rants and mysterious social commentary.
