It''s amazing how far an acoustic guitar, a VW bus and 40 songs can take you. From the late 1960''s at Beaux Arts Coffee house in Florida where Jim Morrison sang to present day digital recording sessions it''s been a good trip. In the 1970''s, it was college campus clubs and play anywhere you could. Opening act for a few big name bands and a stint in the Virgin Islands rounded off the decade. It was exciting being one of Fantasma Productions first acts when they were just getting started. They''re huge now. Standing on the stage of a Holiday Inn lounge in the 1980''s playing to a happy hour, chicken wing eating, drunk crowd or a loud restaurant packed with families of screaming kids directly in front of the stage, I was there. Lot''s more opening acts and 20+ years of nightclub work with my brother in arms, Mark Zumberg [alias Zoom]. As an acoustic duo you can get a lot of work if you''re brave enough to take it. I can''t imagine a situation we haven''t seen and dealt with from the stage. Club owners with no cash at the end of the night to pay you, to girlfriends shouting obscenities at you from the audience. Or play until 1AM in South Carolina, break down all the sound gear and load it into the van, drive all night to Tampa, Florida, play an 8AM morning television show [you know none of your friends are awake to watch], then drive to Sloppy Joe''s in Key West for the 5PM happy hour gig only to arrive and find the band house is already occupied by the friends of the drug dealer / biker who lives in the back apartment. I was there. Play in a European country where no one speaks English. You''ll find yourself changing words to famous songs to break up the monotony. I wrote some great songs doing that. This is why there''s a brotherhood of performing musicians. "He who shares the stage and lives the day will surely be my brother." It was a highlight to play the Woodstock 25th reunion at the original site in 1994. If you were around in the sixties, you''d know what a big deal that is for an old hippie. Of course, there''s a bunch of stuff I left out that I can''t tell you. You had to be there.
Currently, Lots of news to tell. First, my anti-tax song / video "Goodbye Florida" really made the rounds on the internet. Snippets from the video made it on the news. CNN wanted a reprise for Fat Tuesday but I was to busy in the studio to stop and write one. That''s the second big news item: 13 new songs are complete and on the website for your listening pleasure. Go check ''em out and let me know what you think. This recording was done in my small studio on a 32 track Korg D3200 digital recorder. I just wanted a clean recording of the songs the way I do them live with little embellishment. I brought in Tim Bowman on Bass and Steve Krawczyn on Drums and Percussion. I''m extremely pleased with the way they turned out. The songs have a live feel to them. I didn''t want a polished and over produced recording that in the end didn''t sound like me. I''d be pissed if I went to a concert and the band didn''t sound like their album. As a matter of fact, I''ve been to a few shows like that! Sal Belloise
