'65 Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue


Here's a pic of the nicest amp setup I've ever used in recording. Matt and I had a chance to mess around with it for some tracking in the studio a few weeks back. What amazing tone! Nice work Richard. Gotta get me one of those '65 Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissues and tweek it a bit. Could not believe the tones coming out of that thing! (Yeah, the Strat & pedal board combination were nice too...:)

Been a while....

Yeah, man it's been a while since I've done my last post... still love those iem's.

So much has happened since we last spoke. Not too long after my last post in May I was asked to play guitar/vocals for a very cool emerging christian band called Mercy Train. Jamie Prokop, son of Lighthouse great Skip Prokop, is fronting the band and all I can say is that God has His hand on this group. I prayed about the opportunity and within two weeks was sitting in a studio waiting for my first attack on the songs. The rest is history. There is something special about this music. I've never played anything quite like it before. I can't wait until this thing is done.

The first cd that is being released is a 6 song sampler for distribution that should be complete by October. We'll be adding 6 more songs to complete a full cd project by about March of 2006. Oh yeah, got tons of guitar tone stories to tell about the studio work hehehe...
