It’s going to be a hell of a year ! I’m hoping you all have a fantastic year, walk the straight line, and listen to great music. Thanks for everyone’s support. Best to all….…

Dave Stark and I on a little groove high this evening. He's every bit as good a player as he is a drum instructor and it's so much fun to play together. Nothing but pocket We'll be doing some gigs together soon.
Havana! Not really, but it looks like it. I often pretend such things. It's really Sarasota.
Beautiful tree in my neighborhood in Florida. Amazing.
Spring is Coming! Here's a happy play back of this new song. It seems very season appropriate. It's always summer where I live though. But for Schos over in Germany, whom I play a lot of tracks with, it's just starting. Nice little groove to it too! Just a day in the life. We all can use a little happy stuff.This was a Fender song all the way.
Fired up this badazz rig today. It still works! Wayne Jones pre and 2 Wayne Jones 2x10 powered cabs. Each cab powered with 1000 watt built in power amps with XLR speaker connectors. They did it right down under with this rig. Extremely portable too. Best amps in the business for me. At low volume this rig records perfectly.
For those of you that like to read, here's a good one. "Do Stand So Close" by @jeffreyleecampbell. It's his story about being hired by Sting and the shenanigans that go along with it. Very well written ! He makes you feel like you were there. Outstanding read. Very nice Jeffrey!
St Armands Key Florida near where I live. Gorgeous scenery.
In the last 48 hours, I was given the opportunity to record for clients in Switzerland, New York City, and also LA. All very different vibes, and all very good artists in their own right. I had a tricky one where I had to play a keyboard bass line on the electric bass. I loved it and got to exercise my ears, chops, and served up some different tones. It's a good feeling that they are all happy!💥😎😎
Playing all day today. It's never done. Have a wonderful day. I'm starving too. 🤪
Happy Nowruz 2021! To all my Persian friends, this is a big deal! If you don't know about it, it is very interesting. It usually occurs on the date where day and night are of equal length and is a big celebration in the Persian culture. Good stuff!
I just played a series of great projects for those that asked me to play bass for them from Switzerland, France and New York as well as Arizona. Yesterday I get a call for "emergency bass" So I gave my best "Johnny Gage", (look him up for all of you that don't know who he is). Turned out great, and I met some new friends. All great artists! Contact me for info.
Mama Mia !
About a year ago I had hair halfway down my back. Now I go to the Man Cave in Sarasota Florida. Go see Racquel there. They'll take good care of you! #haircut #highandtight #wherediditgo #nomorehair
Backstage. I really enjoy coming here. Great people and good for the soul. It's nice to be able to speak through music.
During my daily roadwork, I always stop at the waterways in my neighborhood. Today I saw my first gator....dude is about 9 feet long, and when he saw me he took off. Damndest thing ever for me.
I had to be careful to separate my male and female potatoes in the oven today. It's very offensive. Right Mr Potato Head ? Change my mind.
Siesta Key, Florida sunset 2/27/2021, near my home. It's really gorgeous here. No snow or cold. People gather to check out the sunsets.
Have a championship day!
Thanks to the Church of the Suncoast today for the invite to work with the band today. First class place with first class people. They even allowed me in with no metal detectors!😎 Thanks for having me, it did my soul a lot of good!
The most important payback of all the remote recordings I do is this. When the artist is happy. I'm happy. I love to vibe with them. That makes my day! This guy is straight up dope. @blonde_and_nervous
It is going to be a good year. I think we can all be clear about that. A lot of people are talking about how 2016 was a bad year and, was 2016 a bad year(?), and I just think that we don’t need to be talking about that right now.
Well John, how ambiguous of you to say that ! I agree !
