Working up a whole new batch of sounds…
I’m the only guy in the world, I think, who makes sounds designed for harmonica players to use with amp modelers. I’ve been selling sets of patches for the Digitech RP200 for awhile, and now I’m working on a patch set for the Digitech RP250….
I hate my singing
I posted a new piece called “Morphine” to my page at Broadjam recently. It’s an instrumental, inspired by the band Morphine (not the drug), and I wrote some lyrics to it. I’m having a hell of a time recording the lyrics, because my singing sucks….
My new reviews at traxmusic.org
A while ago I started posting reviews of some of the music software I use to kvraudio.com, one of the most popular sites on the Web for electronic musicians. I did about 5 reviews of software I use, generally positive. (I’m not usually motivated to…

I’m getting tired of amps
A couple of days ago I decided to change out the preamp tube in my Ron Holmes-modified Crate VC508 to put a little more punch in the sound. The swap did what I wanted, and I had a lot of fun playing with the amp…
Another great night with the Jon Paris Band
I sat in last night with Jon Paris and his band at Lucille’s Grill at BB King’s in Times Square, NYC. It was another great night. As per my previous performances with Jon, I keep trying new sounds and effects, and this time I rolled…
Big slammin’ blues rock jam at 20 in Stamford
I went to the blues/rock jam at a club called Twenty at 20 Summer Street in Stamford last night (Sunday) hosted by members of the State Line Blues Band. What a show! I had a blast listening to the band’s first set–solid rhythm section, a…

Some years ago, David Harp told me about his work with the harp and respiratory therapy, the general idea being that playing harmonica helps you breathe better. I listened at the time with polite but not very intense interest. After all, what I cared about…
