I had written some songs while I was living in Colorado and wanted to record them there. At that time I was essentially retired, actually.

I never played in Ozzy's band. We played a lot of festival shows together and my company did supply Ozzy's bass players with equipment.

People often forget this - a vinyl album could only contain a maximum of 20 minutes per side!

THE GODS was my first professional band and I learned a lot during that time. It was very cool playing with so many great musicians as it helped me to learn.
song cds numbers
When we were making vinyl records we had a lot of time limitations for each record so songs were left off for a number of reasons. Now, with CDs, much more music can be included.
crazy writing play
I have never learned to read or write music so I am not a virtuoso musician like the others you mentioned. I am completely unable to play like them because I never learned classical music, I just developed my own crazy style!

All of us would like for everybody to be the kind of person we want them to be.

If you want to capitulate to what commercial needs are, you can always be commercially valuable, but I'm not interested in being that.

There is a great temptation with songs, melodies and lyrics to overcomplicate them but in fact, you find that the most enduring melodies are often the simplest.

I actually never knew Peter Green but I do respect his early work very much.

Sacrifice - the future has it´s price, and today is only yesterday's tomorrow.
men thinking guitar
I didn't know that you were supposed to tune the guitar to an open chord, and I learned to play slide with a normal tuning. I think it's a little more melodic that way and doesn't sound so bluesy. Of course, if I could play like David Lindley or Ry Cooder, I'd be a happy man!
inspirational encouragement real
I know why I am here and my only real focused goal is to live each day to the fullest and to try and honor God and be an encouragement to others. What the future holds is firmly in God's hands, and I am very happy about that!
